The Escape


 










The Escape, by Lisa Harris, starts out with a quick task for US marshals Madison James and Jonas Quinn.  They must simply escort two felons to another Federal prison.  Unfortunately, the plane they are on crashes in a storm, leaving both pilots and one of the felons dead!

Madison and Jonas must quickly change their mindset.  They not only need to stay alive, but also track down the remaining convict, who is fleeing for his life!

Searching for this criminal in the forests of Wyoming and Idaho is a difficult task for Madison and Jonas.  Things get even more complicated, when one of these agents' families get threatened in the midst of this madness!

After a long and messy job of hunting down and catching this prisoner, you will see Madison return home, only to be confronted by the person, who killed her husband five long years ago!

I received this boo from Revell in exchange for my honest review.
