US Marshals
Madison James and Jonas Quinn are thrust into a high-profile case when they are
called on to transport two prisoners across the country on a private plane. But
when the plane experiences engine trouble en route from the Pacific Northwest
to Colorado, the pilots crash-land the aircraft deep in the heart of the
sprawling Salmon-Challis National Forest.
When Madison and Jonas regain consciousness, they find both pilots and one
prisoner dead--and one fugitive on the run. They'll have to negotiate the
rugged and remote backcountry through Idaho, Wyoming, and Colorado while
tracking a murderer who is desperate to disappear--and will do anything to stop
them.
This high-octane game of cat-and-mouse from bestselling and award-winning
author Lisa Harris will have your heart pumping as you try to catch a fugitive
with nothing to lose.
My Thoughts:
The Escape by Lisa Harris starts out reminding me of Con-Air, a plane full of criminals and something goes wrong. While Harris' story does not go as realistic and vivid as Con-Air the movie does, it still captures my attention as I am chasing through the woods of Idaho to Colorado to chase after an escaped criminal. There is a hint of romance, but it definitely is not the most important element of the story, which I truly enjoyed by the way. The suspense is what drives the stories. Every time the hero and heroine get close to capturing the criminal, he throws a loop in their carefully laid out plans and runs for the hills. Some of the movements by the police officers were predictable. I believe fans of suspense novels will have seen them coming. They have been done before. Even with this, I still enjoyed the story. The heroine's name is mentioned in the next one, so I can't wait to see what other trouble that Harris allows these characters to dive into.
I received a complimentary copy of The Escape by Lisa Harris by Revell Publishing, but the opinions stated are all my own.
My Rating: 4 out of 5 stars
Purchase The Escape
