Then You Run tells the story of Tara O'Rourke, who, when she kills her estranged father in a drug fuelled rage, her best friends are forced to flee across Europe in search of Tara's long-lost mother. Along the way, the girls have to navigate depleting funds, awkward romances and an inconvenient pregnancy - but the biggest danger comes from Tara's uncle, Reagan - because the girls made the mistake of stealing Reagan's drug stash... and he happens to be the most feared gangster in Rotterdam. And all the while, the spectre of a mythical serial killer known as The Traveller inches ever closer.

Dublin Murders is drawn from Tana French's mystery novels In The Woods and The Likeness. Blending psychological mystery and darkness, each novel is led by a different detective or detectives from the same Dublin squad. The first book centers on a duo investigating the murder of a 12-year-old girl; The Likeness is about a young female detective who goes undercover to solve a murder in an elite college town. The thruline is an intense emotional connection between cop and crime, underpinned by a disturbing tremor from another influence.
