rom the moment he sees cops at the foot of his farm driveway, Virgil Cain knows there will be trouble. Mickey Dupree - one of the most successful criminal attorneys in upstate New York, a man with a lot of enemies-has been found dead at his exclusive country club, the shaft of a golf club driven through his heart. Two weeks earlier Virgil told a crowded bar that "somebody ought to blow Mickey's head off." Now Virgil is suspect number one. Tossed in jail with no questions asked, Virgil knows the fix is in. To set things right, Virgil must escape and find Mickey's killer himself. Red Means Run is a fast, funny country-noir caper in the tradition of Elmore Leonard - with half-wit cops, crazed crooks, and a clever, laconic charmer named Virgil Cain.
