"Ally Walker's thriller The Light Runner captivated me from start to finish. The imagery is vivid and other-worldly and the storytelling is done in a way that makes it impossible to put down. The characters are unique and compelling and made the whole ride fun."

-Katey Sagal, actress

"I've known Ally Walker as a gifted storyteller-as an actor, director, and screenwriter-and this novel's debut still knocked my socks off. The Light Runner is propulsive, thoughtful, incisive-the kind of thriller that stands out in a crowded field. It pinned my attention from the first page and held it deftly through the riveting ending that I truly did not see coming."

-Sarah Wayne Callies, actress

"Ally Walker has crafted a compelling read. The fascinating prologue immediately hooks you, and the expertly drawn, flawed characters pull you deep into their world. This is a masterful weaving of past and present, where every carefully placed sentence feels like a vital clue in a gripping murder mystery. A powerful and thought-provoking exploration of the prisons we build for ourselves, both within and without."

-Tim DeKay, actor

"Ally Walker is a writer who brings the same laser understanding of character, human motivations, and storytelling that she displayed as a brilliant actress. She has planted her flag in the crime genre, as her new book The Light Runner will attest! So, grab a drink of your choice and get ready for a novel that feels like cinema! Vivid storytelling, imagery, pacing, and character development, true cinematic storytelling.... A great actress and now a great author! Congrats, 'Sam'!"

-Robert Davi, actor, singer, and filmmaker
