No Time to Run is the first book in J.D. Trafford’s Michael Collins series. This is a fictional series that you will definitely want to pick up if you are at all a fan of action and adventure books as well as thrillers and suspense (just like the works of John Grisham and more!).

This legal thriller is one that you will not be able to put down once you pick it up! If you love being on the edge of your seat while watching what the main character does, you’re going to enjoy this debut novel from lawyer Trafford, who has plenty of experience to draw from.

Meet Michael Collins. He used to have the world at his feet; or at least he seemed to. He was the classic New York business man, always rushing around to catch a taxi to go to a meeting or hit up a dinner with other business associates. He had a full wardrobe that was filled up to the brim with expensive ties and even more expensive suits made out of beautiful materials.

It was all his until he burned the clothes up in a gorgeous bonfire and watched as it all went up in flames. Well, that’s one way to make a life choice. Michael just wanted to get out of the rat race and now he’s gone to Mexico and is now the guy that you can find if you go down to the seventh hut at a rundown resort that has seen better days.

He had endless billable hours at his feet and paychecks coming down the line from the law firm that would have given him endless cash flow. At least he would have if he had stayed behind. So why did he give up all of that to go live as an exiled patriot in Mexico for the foreseeable future?

Collins knows something that some people don’t know– that one of the clients that has an account with the business is missing millions. No one knows who did it. There are also plenty of people that are clamoring for his return, but Michael isn’t sure that he should come back at all.

However, he still has ties to this world. When he finds out that his girlfriend has actually been accused of doing something horrible, he knows that he has to return. There’s no way that she committed a murder like they are saying, but you never know what could happen. However, Michael has no choice but to finally go back and sort this mess out once and for all.

What is going to happen in this debut thriller and the first novel in Trafford’s Michael Collins series? You’re going to have to read this book to find out!

No Time to Die is the sequel to the first novel in the Michael Collins series by author J.D. Trafford.

If you really enjoyed the first novel in this series, then you’ve got to check out the second novel! This sequel picks up where the best selling debut left off and we are back with Michael Collins once more. Collins has returned to the Sunset Resort and Hostel once more to rejoin the other losers and dropouts of the world and to take some time off.

His peace and quiet is disrupted when he finds that a local boy needs his help. His father is missing, and before you know it Collins is back in the mix again. But with the FBI interested in him a big suit on his hands, Collins is once more in over his head. What will happen? Read this legal thriller yourself to find out!
