What is Girl on the Run about?
Armand O'Bae didn't simply disappear. He was kidnapped, tortured, then thrown from an upper-story window. An unfortunate accident said the gentlemen involved, and more unfortunate that O'Bae had taken with him the sinister secret of a ninth-century treasure.The synopsis is perhaps a bit misleading; the main character of the book is one Harry Bannock, an engineer who's been helping rebuild Europe after the War. He receives a request for help from the woman he thought he lost to a rival, and winds up in a heap of trouble.This book was originally published in 1954, and reflects the preoccupations of that time, with Communists as a major threat. Harry is a typical action hero of the period, tough, multi-talented and a bit stoic. His views on women aren't exactly progressive, nor are the other characters'; the two younger women in the story are referred to as "X's woman" and the woman who is no one's possession is referred to as a "witch."
