Book cover: Title: Diary of a Prosecutor on the Run. A Novel by Tyler Schiff. A cut out of a woman's head, inside the head is an ocean with red reflection.

Diary of a Prosecutor on the Run introduces us to regular men and women in law enforcement, who have battered by life but manage to retain their dignity; a forensic artist, a public attorney, a financial regulator, current and former FBI agents, a U.S. Marshal and prison guard, among others. The subjects share moments from their lives; they talk openly and sometimes hilariously about their desires and vulnerabilities, weaving a grisly and morbid tale of crime and criminal in the modern era.

This darkly comic vision begins with a psychological thriller. A prosecutor goes on the run after she brings a powerful CEO to trial. By turns strange and familiar, Diary of a Prosecutor on the Run iI a tale that provokes and surprises.
