According to the book description of Cop On The Run, it “is the story of a renegade cop, Peter Santini, charged with murder, fleeing to avoid capture. He is pursued by his twin-sister, Betty, by order of her father, the family Patriarch. Betty is the most decorated female detective on the force. The twins are the products of three generations of Hero Cops. The flight and chase lead the twins through many thrilling episodes of adventure, danger and romance. When a tragic accident during a heroic act paralyzes Peter, the media exposure enables Betty to catch up to her twin. Seeing his condition, Betty refuses to arrest Peter, and returns home to marry her fiancée. At her wedding she reveals Peter's whereabouts to her father, Frank, who takes up the chase. Frank spends months helping his son recuperate, and when he feels Peter is strong enough, tries to take him into custody at gunpoint. A struggle ensues and a shot kills Peter's lover. In panic, Frank flees and is captured on the Interstate. He suffers a heart attack when his captor turns out to be the secret Frank had been hiding from his family for forty-four years.”
