Description:
William Goldman's remarkable career spans more
than five decades, and his credentials run the gamut from bestselling novelist
to Oscar-winning screenwriter to Hollywood raconteur. He's beloved by millions
of readers as the author of the classic comic-romantic fantasy The Princess
Bride. And he's notorious for creating the most harrowing visit to the dentist
in literary and cinematic history – in one of the seminal thrillers of the
twentieth century. . . .
MARATHON MAN
Tom "Babe" Levy is a runner in every
sense: racing tirelessly toward his goals of athletic and academic excellence –
and endlessly away from the specter of his famous father's scandal-driven
suicide. But an unexpected visit from his beloved older brother will set in
motion a chain of events that plunge Babe into a vortex of terror, treachery,
and murder – and force him into a race for his life . . . and for the answer to
the fateful question, "Is it safe?"
"Superb . . . One hell of a read." –
The Washington Post.
“An exciting – often funny, often sad – chase
… Goldman does a masterly job.” – Associated Press.
“Well-plotted, expertly characterized, and
fast-paced." – Los Angeles Times.
