Review
The hottest new writer on the the American crime writing block, Jeff Abbott, slams you back in your chair and hits the throttle from chapter one, leaving you a helpless passenger on a ride that screams around hairpin turns, leaving burning rubber on the (Peterborough Evening Telegraph )
Cut and Run made my pulse race and my heart ache. It's a breathtaking, action-packed thriller with brains, guts, and real emotion. Jeff Abbott is the suspense writer to watch. (Harlan Coben )
Cut and Run is first class - a little diamond. If crime novels were music, this would be Jerry Lee Lewis, and there's no higher accolade in my opinion. (Independent on Sunday )

It's because of this that the story just does not carry. Under normal (well, normal for a thriller) circumstances, there would be rather more by way of help. So, when the going gets tough, a few of the gunmen are fortuitously killed off until there's hardly a one left. The Judge obviously finds his mother and - again oddly - their long lost family love returns in no time at all.
I couldn't find a jot of sympathy or temporary affection for any of the characters. As the titles suggests, their emotions cut and run, too so we're left with a thriller which doesn't thrill. This is a shame because, if some of the many characters in the story had never been there in the first place, this had the makings of a good storyline. As it is, everything is spread too thinly to capture the staying power of the reader. Others may enjoy this ramshackle collection of ne'er-do-wells so borrow a copy and see for yourself. It may well interest you enough to pick up another book from this author. I will, in the hope that it will reconfirm the status of yet another 'international bestseller'.
He is searching for his mother, who abandoned the family when Whit was a small child---he is investigating his own past as well.
His mother left with a ne'er-do-well who had stolen a large sum of money from the mob. On the run, she murders the abusive thief and returns the money to the Detroit Mafia---eventually becoming their money manager and remaining out of sight.
Thirty years later Whit's pursuit begins. An ordeal of double-crosses, frame-ups, reprehensible betrayers, murder, conniving dames, money laundering and topless clubs are just a few of the roadblocks Whit encounters.
It is nonstop cat and mouse after Whit initially locates his mother. Running together, it is impossible to know whom is ally, whom is adversary.
Fast paced, a superb supporting cast and crisp dialogue propel the plot.
Whit's archangel Gooch steals every scene he appears in.
A very enjoyable series.
Harry thinks out of the box tracing Ellen to Montana where she had run off to with a bank embezzler. Then he traces her in Detroit where she cut a deal with the Bellini mob, who relocated with her to Houston. As Whit confronts Ellen, he becomes embroiled in a mob deal involving a five-million-dollar Miami connection and double crosses that test his moral system to the core. Will he choose to protect the person who deserted him or will he opt to obey his conscience. He is encouraged to do so by Claudia Salazaar, the woman he loves.
CUT AND RUN is an exhilarating thriller that runs on two levels. First there is the mob scenario with its double dealings in which Ellen is in the middle. Then there is Whit's ethical dilemma even when murder influences the equation. Thus the audience receives a powerful novel that will add to Jeff Abbott's growing reputation for suspense.

This book plunges into Whit's past showing us more of the background that developed his character while immersing us into mob life. This book has many twist and turns. I found myself guessing who had the money and was still wrong. Cut and Run will take you on a journey that you won't want to put down.
