A MYSTERIOUS LETTER IGNITES AN EXPLOSIVE CHAIN OF EVENTS FROM THE SOUTH CAROLINA LOWCOUNTRY TO THE OUTER BANKS.
An execution-style murder next to the Port of Charleston triggers an intensive police investigation to find a killer. In an apparently unrelated incident, a year later, three complete strangers each receive an anonymous letter offering a financial windfall with a detailed set of instructions…and an ominous threat for failing to comply.
The strangers must travel alone from Charleston to Daufuskie Island off the coast of Hilton Head, South Carolina. Hoping to find answers, they instead become pawns in a clever and elaborate scheme planned by the ruthless boss of a Miami drug cartel.
When Detective Steve Harris finally discovers the link between the murder and the missing strangers, he launches a frantic race against time, a Miami drug cartel, and a deadly hurricane, to find them before they disappear for good.

DIFFICULT THINGS WE DO IMMEDIATELY; IMPOSSIBLE TASKS JUST TAKE A LITTLE LONGER.
After running over 15,000 miles and more than 140 races, including 40 full and half marathons, all after age 55, the impossible became possible for a former overweight, out-of-shape, 33-year smoker who ran his first 26.2 mile full marathon at age 57.
From his early life growing up in rural Pennsylvania as the oldest of seven children, through a life-long career as an advertising agency executive, to eventually becoming an avid runner, Art Zimmerman’s personal life journey will inspire and encourage runners and nonrunners alike to reach beyond their own expectations and self-imposed limits.
Through the eyes of an addicted, late-in-life runner, Run for Your Life chronicles how difficult challenges can be overcome with enough motivation, dedication, and perseverance — like running a full marathon, even at age 72.
