Run, Hide, Die - Paperback

by Ian W. Sainsbury (Author)

The police want him behind bars, everyone else wants him dead.

Gentle Tom Lewis has a dark side, an alter ego called Jimmy. And Jimmy is out of control.



After avenging the murder of his family, he embarks on a deadly rampage through London's organised crime bosses. As the police close in, he escapes by stowing aboard a container ship.

But there are two problems: first, the police have been tipped off and are planning to arrest him on arrival in New York; second, the ship's secret means he might not survive long enough to get to America. Each of the seven passengers has a bounty on their head, and captain and crew will compete to hunt them down and claim their prize.

Unarmed, friendless, caught between desperate criminals and a murderous crew and heading towards the waiting police - Jimmy will have to go to the limit if he is to survive.



From Amazon Kindle Storyteller Award winner, Ian W. Sainsbury, an addictive crime/revenge novel.

Author Biography

Winner of the Kindle Storyteller Award 2019 for The Picture On The Fridge

Born at an early age, Ian W Sainsbury quickly learned to talk about himself in the third person, meaning a career in the arts was all but inevitable. In 1987, he ran away from university to join the circus, playing in a band providing accompaniment for monkeys riding on pigs. Finding it hard to match such early success, Ian played piano on cruise ships before spending over a decade singing in European piano bars. He also ran (and still does) a choir or two, singing pop stuff in a pub. The next career move was obvious, and no one was surprised when Ian spent five years as a stand-up comic. He also began writing music and material for ventriloquist Paul Zerdin, including co-writing Zerdin's Vegas show in 2016. After music, circuses, puppets, comedy and choirs, Ian pooled his earnings to date and was able to buy a palatial two-man tent and a skateboard. It was at this point that he decided the world might be ready for a novel or two. Since The World Walker appeared on Amazon in 2016, Ian has--to his amazement--found he is one of those people who does what he loves for a living without having to sell a kidney. He lives in East Anglia, UK, with Mrs S, two children, and a flatulent dog.
