RUN – MANDASUE HELLER

Run by Mandasue Heller is a gritty story of Manchester s criminal underworld. After being cheated on by her ex, Leanne Riley is trying her hardest to get her life back on track, which isn t easy without a job and living in a bedsit surrounded by a junkie and a mad woman. On a night out with her best friend she meets Jake, a face from her past who has changed beyond all recognition. Jake is charming, handsome and loaded, a far cry from the gawky teenager he used to be. Weary of men, Leanne isn t easy to please, but Jake tries his best to break through the wall she s built around herself. But good looks and money can hide a multitude of sins. Is that good-looking face just a mask? And what s more, what will it take to make it slip, and who will die in the process . . . ? Heller doesn’t mince words, her gritty plots create a Manchester underworld to rival Martina Cole’s raw and rough East End – Peterborough Evening Telegraph
