I'm a marathon man, he thought, a real one, and you better not mess with me. Then Jesus, Babe thought suddenly - they're coming for me in the car.'

'Babe hobbled to his feet. His ankle hurt like hell and his face had scraped along the pavement, but he knew the sound of a beaten runner when he heard it. I'm a marathon man, he thought, a real one, and you better not mess with me. Then Jesus, Babe thought suddenly - they're coming for me in the car.' Tom 'Babe' Levy is a runner in every sense: racing tirelessly toward his goals of athletic and academic excellence - and endlessly away from the spectre of his famous father's scandal-driven suicide. But an unexpected visit from his beloved older brother sets in motion a chain of events that plunges Babe into a vortex of treachery and murder. Stumbling into the violent world of couriers and assassins, espionage and torture, the boy who dreamed of winning races suddenly becomes a man forced to race for his life ...and for the answer to the fateful question, 'Is it safe?'

Seller's Description:
Very Good in Very Good jacket. 1st Printing. Hard Cover. Very Good/Very Good. 1974 Delacorte Press FIRST edition in VG+/VG+ condition. This book looks great. The HB is absolutely clean and unmarked. The DJ is not price-clipped with the appropriate 1074 marking on the inside rear flyleaf. There is a crease on the front inside flyleaf and virtually no wear at all on the DJ. The only flaw is an old dried water stain which is NOT visible from the front but is evident on the lower inside of the DJ. A great price for a scarce first! **Brenbooks specializes in first edition books made into films.
