Sam lives to race bicycles.  When a former Olympian cyclist offers to train him, as long as Sam becomes a messenger for his courier company, Sam grabs the opportunity.  But the job turns out to be more than Sam expected when he finds himself running for his life.  Fast-paced and full of suspense, this book is an excellent choice for reluctant readers.  The characters are believable, and the gritty, urban setting  is realistic.
