A brilliant feat of storytelling, Red Light Run is the radiant and stunning debut from Best New American Voices writer Baird Harper. When two cars collide at an intersection in a leafy Chicago suburb, Hartley Nolan is not the person police expect to find behind the wheel. After all, he barely drinks; everyone knows it’s his wife who’s the alcoholic. But the bigger question on people’s minds is what brought Sonia Senn, dead at the scene, back to her hometown in such a hurry that night? In eleven tightly linked stories, Red Light Run pulls us into the inner lives of Hartley, Sonia, and a host of other characters to untangle the mounting forces that carry them to their fates. Among the ensemble in this prismatic collection are a real estate agent who seeks gossip on the market rather than houses, a trailer park developer whose entire livelihood is laid to waste by a single cigarette, a divorced mother battling her daughter-in-law for hegemony over her kitchen, a widower hell-bent on destroying the invasive species of beetle that’s wiping out his oak trees, and a down-and-out handyman with a desperate plan for revenge. And then there’s Sonia Senn, with a dark secret of her own, and Hartley Nolan, who has risen above his roots to become a commodities trader in Chicago only to end up sentenced to eight years at Grassland State Prison. With infectiously grim humor and wry insight, these characters contemplate their realities in relation to one tragic moment, propelling us toward a startling revelation about the long and sometimes crooked arc of justice.

Mickey Dupree is one of the most successful criminal attorneys in upstate New York. The downside to this is that Mickey has a lot of enemies, one of whom drives a golf club through his heart. The cops have one suspect: Virgil Cain, whose recent exclamation that 'somebody ought to blow Mickey's head off' - after Mickey freed the wealthy, gun-obsessed lunatic accused of murdering his wife - has left him in hot water. Dim-witted detective Joe Brady throws Virgil in jail, no questions asked. So, realising that his unlucky streak is about to get a whole lot worse unless he finds who's really responsible, Virgil busts out of jail and begins his hunt, with only savvy detective Claire Marchand prepared to give him the benefit of the doubt. As the evidence against him mounts, and he begins to upset some rather dubious people, Virgil is truly on the run in this witty, thrilling and blistering tale.

I read the entire book in almost one sitting.” —Thomas E. Ricks, The New York Times Book Review “All Blood Runs Red should be required reading for anyone who has ever dreamed big. A truly inspiring and uplifting story of courage and triumph, and an opus for an unsung hero.” —Nelson DeMille “Dazzling . . . This may be a biography, but it reads like a novel.” —Publishers Weekly (starred review)
