FOX ON THE RUN is a masterful novel of intrigue by the author of seven films directed by Alfred Hitchcock. On a misty sea loch in the Scottish Highlands, rock superstar Glen Ross is fishing tranquilly with his young son when, through the mist-enveloped waters, a submersible surfaces to smuggle a shadowy figure ashore. Suddenly the loch turns terrifyingly alive with the spatter of deadly gun fire, and Glen's life will never be the same. He becomes the prime suspect in murders he never committed ... a pawn in a cold-blooded conspiracy ... and the one man who can stop an assassin's bullet from reaching its all-important target. Caught in a clandestine struggle for global domination, singer Glenn Ross holds the balance of world power in his hands.

Charles Bennett (1899-1995) was the screenwriter whose Modern Mystery thriller construction established Hitchcock's international reputation in the 1930s. His son John Charles Bennett has rereleased this edition of FOX ON THE RUN as the culminating expression of his father's hero's journey construction. The Bennett scenario became widely copied, analyzed, and misattributed after THE 39 STEPS. Here is the purest distillation of Bennett's famed Modern Thriller construction combining suspense elements from both THE MAN WHO KNEW TOO MUCH (1934) and THE 39 STEPS (1935).

In addition, there are available on Amazon four more Charles Bennett novels, and an acclaimed memoir. The novels are THE VISITORS (KDP, 2021), MISS MOFFITT AND THE THUNDERBIRD (KDP, 2020), WAR IN HIS POCKET (KDP, 2021), and THE MIRACLE OF ST. ELZEAR (KDP, 2022).. The memoir is titled HITCHCOCK'S PARTNER IN SUSPENSE: THE LIFE OF SCREENWRITER CHARLES BENNETT (University Press of Kentucky, 2014). Also available is a two volume study titled ALFRED HITCHCOCK AND CHARLES BENNETT: THE RISE OF THE MODERN THRILLER (KDP, 2020) written by John Charles Bennett.
