The Runner's Knot (variant cover)

English teacher Andy Alvarez sprints through deserted zoo grounds to find peace before sunrise. The only problem is his nemesis: the white Zoo Security vehicle patrolling the dark.

 

When an angry bird causes a sudden wipeout, Andy finds out that the driver, Sean Maguire, offers a much more captivating diversion than his usual morning routine.
