When a stranger is stabbed to death, Fran's own life is put in danger . . .
Amateur sleuth Fran Varady has to stay ahead of a killer in Running Scared, the third exciting mystery in Ann Granger's Fran Varady series. A must-listen for fans of LJ Ross and Elly Griffiths.
Aspiring actress and part-time private investigator Fran Varady knew there would be maximum disruption when her friend Ganesh decided to modernize his uncle's newsagents, starting with the washroom. But she isn't prepared for the nightmare that begins when an agitated passerby asks to use it: hours later, he's found stabbed to death, leaving a message for Fran to meet him, and a mysterious roll of film hidden behind the old pipes . . .
Fran realizes that whoever wanted the negatives knows where they were hidden. And, probably, where they are now. With her police protection more a hindrance than a help, an old friend, Tig, on the verge of collapse, and the builders wreaking havoc in the shop, can Fran find out why someone is prepared to murder for the negatives—before they find her?

"This is one of a rather different series from the author of the Meredith and Markby series. Set in London with a protagonist who's young and, at times, nearly homeless. I've read a couple of them so I want to complete the series."

— Wendy, 1/1/2012" This is my first Ann Granger. I loved the sazzy heroine detective and the way she solved the mystery involving a dead man, a roll of films and a harassed land lady. I would look out for more books involving this heroine. "
