Run before the Wind (Will Lee Series #2)

by Stuart Woods

Overview

#1 New York Times bestselling author Stuart Woods presents a breathtaking story of suspense and high-adventure in the second novel in the Will Lee series.

Will Lee ran from a life of Southern wealth and privilege to spend a peaceful summer on the coast of Ireland. But there is no peace in this beautiful, troubled land. Restless and dissatisfied, Will dreams of shipbuilding and sailing on crystal-blue waters. Then an explosion of senseless violence drags the young American drifter into a lethal game of terror and revenge. For the fires of hatred rage unchecked in the place of lush, rolling hills and deadly secrets. Now Will Lee must run for his life from a bloody past that is not his own—and he will find no sanctuary on the rolling waves of the Irish sea...
