More than two decades after The Runnings first appeared, attorney-at-law David Wong Ken is extending its story with a new thriller, Presumption of Guilt, set for release on June 28.

It began with a simple question: what happens when an ordinary Jamaican is suddenly forced to run for his life after becoming entangled in events far larger than himself?”
