"This adrenaline-fueled thriller captivates from the first chapter until it hurtles to the dramatic finale." ~ RandomBadger

In search of redemption from his sordid past, FBI Special Agent Alex Bailey takes on a new partner, Katherine Mitchel… and a new secret mission.

Before being assigned their first joint case, Katherine uncovers damning evidence against a major crime ring known as The Syndicate. The group controls key members of the D.C. Metropolitan Area Police, the U.S. Congress, even the FBI, and they will stop at nothing to protect their interests. With her life on the line, Katherine is forced to put her faith in Alex as she flees from Washington D.C. and enters the Witness Protection Program.

Yet there’s no hiding from The Syndicate.

In the most dangerous investigation of his career, Alex must decide how far he is willing to go to keep Katherine safe, and to stop The Syndicate.

EVOLVED PUBLISHING PRESENTS the first book in "The Syndicate-Born Trilogy," an exploration of what happens when one well-placed group possesses too much power, and how it affects those who just get in its way.

"Move over Baldacci. Prepare for competition from this new author! Spellbinding - hard to put down." ~ Patrisha Ehlert

Editorial Reviews

Review

"The magic in Hodge's writing comes in the depth she gives her characters. Her main characters, as well as her supporting cast, are flawed and wounded and lovable, and that's what drives them to trouble and triumph...or somewhere in between." -Melinda McIntosh, Author of Bit of Tickle for the Mind.

"Domestic abuse and addiction can be pretty tough topics but K.M. Hodge delivers in a debut novel that is fast-paced and very suspenseful." -Gail Olmsted, Author of Jeep Tour and Guessing at Normal.

A very awesome book cover

Reviewed in the United States on November 27, 2017

Verified Purchase

2/29/2008, Nin’s Bar Danville, VA. FBI SA Alexander “Alex” Bailey, & FBI SA Katherine Mitchel (twin, Alex’s partner, aka Red) were enjoying a few after hours drinks.
Charles MacAvoy (owner) wanted Nin (Tiny, bouncer) to kick Alex out.
It seems Katherine is his GF.
Was, she just broke up with him.
Pendrell General Hospital. Later Dr. Martin called Jason Knettle (Katherine’s BMF, Danville Press Editor-in-Chief) that they were going to start treatment on her bout with MRSA.

3/31/2008, Key West, Fl. Katherine (35) was put in the witness protection.
8/21/2008, Danville, VA. What are Jason & Charles MacAvoy in cahoots with/about?
Why did Senator Scott Mitchel get taken into custody?

I did not receive any type of compensation for reading & reviewing this book. While I receive free books from publishers & authors, I am under no obligation to write a positive review. Only an honest one.

A very awesome book cover, great font & writing style. A very well written FBI thriller book. It was very easy for me to read/follow from start/finish & never a dull moment. There were no grammar/typo errors, nor any repetitive or out of line sequence sentences. Lots of exciting scenarios, with several twists/turns & a huge set of unique characters to keep track of. This could also make another great FBI thriller movie, or better yet a mini TV series. A very easy rating of 5 stars.

Thank you for the free author; Evolved Publishing LLC; Amazon Digital Services LLC.; book

Much different than expected

Reviewed in the United States on March 24, 2018

This book is not about The Syndicate. It's about people. The beginning is a little slow to build through and you have to pay close attention to the dates to realize that relationships are not developing overnight as it seems, but over a period of time. This is not a fun or action packed novel. It is highly psychological and quite punishing. There is danger, suspense, and mystery mixed with hardcore emotions of confusion, betrayal and straight up devastation. The writing is excellent and the book well laid out. Characters are unquestioningly defined, yet sometimes a little unbelievable. I won't include spoilers, but I just don't believe a leopard can change his spots. I found myself questioning several relationships along the way and hope this is resolved in the future books. Though I did really enjoy the book and would recommend it, I personally, would have liked to have learned more about this evil entity all the fuss was about and seen a bit more police procedurals involved. Overall, it was a really good, deeply moving story that most will enjoy.

You don't know who to trust, so you're suspicious of everyone!

Reviewed in the United States on September 27, 2015

A wonderful book! The characters are heroic and flawed and broken, and about 1/3 of the way through the book, I was hooked...rooting for them to overcome, rooting for them to have a happy ending, and scared to get to the end in case it wasn't a happy one. Ms. Hodge has crafted an interesting tale of suspense amid a beautiful love story. You don't know who to trust, so you are suspicious of everyone. I can't wait to read her next book.

With the transformation of her debut novel from Seasons to Red on the Run, KM Hodge has hit the sweet spot. The overall tone is lighter, yet she hasn’t sacrificed the obstacles her characters must face as they battle not only their own personal demons, but organized crime as well. The magic in Hodge’s writing comes in the depth she gives her characters. Her main characters, as well as her supporting cast, are flawed and wounded and lovable, and that’s what drives them to trouble and triumph…or somewhere in between. I’m looking forward to the next book in this series and to witnessing the writing talent of KM Hodge transform even more. This author is one to follow.

Romance? Sort of... Thriller? No Doubt

Reviewed in the United States on March 16, 2018

Verified Purchase

“Red on the Run,” by K. M. Hodge, is a convoluted story of intrigue, suspense, romance and crime. With a cast of characters representing the FBI, CIA, The Syndicate, the US Congress, Washington D.C. Metro Police and the Witness Protection Program you’ve got one helluva divergent group of people, all with their own agenda and poor Red is caught in the middle.

A common reviewer phrase “I could not put the book down” is often cited to describe an exciting story that creates a sense of unrelenting suspense and a series of mini cliff-hangers that draws the reader to the next page and the next and the next. With “Red on the Run,” that phrase is an understatement. Ms. Hodge is adept at keeping the reader engaged and on the edge of their seats. Her characters are true to life, each one flawed in their own way as all humans are, while providing an individualistic piece of the whole storyline. Hodge’s knowledge of police and federal law enforcement procedures is well demonstrated in showing the inner workings of the FBI and CIA. Verisimilitude is clear throughout the book, but never more so than the ending. Life seldom delivers happy endings for people involved in situations such as those described in “Red on the Run” and the conclusion of this book is no different. Highly recommended to all readers who enjoy fast-paced, action packed, romance thrillers.

Red on the Run by K. M. Hodge.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on August 2, 2018

Verified Purchase

WOW, what a read, fast moving, full of emotions, on every level. I felt joy, terror, anxiety, sadness and utter shock. Twists and turns, and a couple I just wasn't ready for. I cried so much on and off in this read, especially towards the end. Not expected at all. Its riveting, and well worth a read. Can't wait to read bk 2. I dare say Jason, Ellie and Chris take center stage in the beginning, making way for more heroes to appear. This author is certainly going on my favorites list of authors. I would have given this read more than 5* if I could. Love the cover too, well worth 5* on its own.

This is one of those books where you wished you had more stars to award like 10 out of 10.
It starts with 2 people meeting at a funeral home, and then leads into the period and time that lead them to this time and place.
An involvement with law enforcement and those that were out to grab power in any way possible are all part of the story. However, what really appealed to me, was how flawed the heroes were and how, as in true life, it was not a HEA for everyone.
If you love cop stories, with a touch of romance, mixed with nasty bad guys, then you will enjoy this tale.
I voluntarily submitted this review of an advanced copy of this book.

Loved this story. It is fast paced with a great plot. The book is too complex to be described as a simple thriller. The characters are heroic and flawed and broken. It is action packed and heart-breaking. Pick this up for a weekend read - you won't want to stop once you've started.
