"Z.A.K.A is an Orthodox Jewish volunteer force in Israel that collects the remains of Jews killed in accidents. When Jacob, a Z.A.K.A volunteer, makes the split-second decision to treat a young Palestinian woman instead of the soldier she may have killed, his world is changed forever. The Runner is a powerful thriller that explores the beleaguered psyche of a noble man charged with attending to the remains of harrowing acts of savagery."-- Provided by publisher.
