Simon Lewis, whose thriller, Bad Traffic, has now been published in five languages, has a new thriller out in April 2012. Titled  Border Run, it is the story of two gap year friends who get caught up in murder and mayhem in the Chinese jungle. Think Deliverance meets The Beach. Its advance reviews include raves in The Bookseller and The Word, which has this to say: “If Elmore Leonard is praising your crime thrillers, you know you’re doing something right ... Border Run ought to consolidate Lewis’s growing reputation as a writer of tautly plotted, superbly paced fiction, whose gleeful twists and turns also betray the author’s screenwriting credentials.”
