Readers and Reading discussion

Someone posted this online and I thought one of the smart readers here might know the answer:

"I’ve been trying to locate an action-packed best seller I read that I believe was published in the early '90s. Of course, I can’t remember the title or the author, and I read it with Books on Tape, which is no longer renting, so I don’t even have details of a book jacket.

The opening is memorable. A successful businessman with a lovely wife goes to work one day and everyone he sees tries to kill him. They even bring in his wife to get him. He has no idea why. Eventually they evacuate the building to try to capture him (conveniently he’s an ex-Marine so he doesn’t make it easy).

As I remember, this is the only book he ever wrote."

I know I read this book, but I cannot remember the title either.

This sounds good. I hope someone else remembers the name--i wanna read it!

From the above description my guess would be
Vertical Run

SANDI, you are a GENIUS!!! I am sure that is the book because I read it too. Did you read it?

THANK YOU!!!!

You are welcome. No, I have not read it yet. I've had it on various books to look for lists since it was first published but have just never gotten around to actually reading it.

Sandi, Vertical Run was one good thriller! Enjoy....
