''Vertical Run'' is a novel about a man having a very bad day. Dave is the vice president of a big company. He gets up, jogs to work, takes a shower in his office bathroom, gets dressed and finds everyone he knows trying to kill him.

* [[Alternative Character Interpretation]]: Dave is either a good guy trying to avoid a bad past or a [[Complete Monster]] who has the perfect opportunity to let loose. [[In-Universe]], Dave's actions in Vietnam can be be read as him being either a hero or a traitor. The other characters who are aware of Dave's history are divided.
* [[Bavarian Fire Drill]]: Played with. The [[Genre Savvy]] Mr. Ransome expects one, Dave changes his clothes and hair to help him with one, and it's almost mentioned by name. It's called a "Chinese Fire Drill".
