The Escape, by Lisa Harris, is a Romantic Suspense novel, the first in the US Marshals series. Madison and Jonas met several years ago but have lived in different states for the last few years. Suddenly they are assigned to the job of transporting two murderers from Seattle to Denver together. The weather is stormy, and the small plane crashes in a remote forest. Both pilots and one prisoner are killed, but the other escapes. 
Madison and Jonas must arrest this dangerous but charming killer before he commits more murders. But where are they? What state are they even in? The plane has come to rest in a treetop, and all they can see is miles of forest.
The two work well together, and admire each other’s skills, but there isn’t much time for thinking about each other as they try to stay on top of this clever killer. He’s always one step ahead of them. Just when it seems he’s finally been caught, he always manages to escape. Will they ever finally succeed? And will Madison and Jonas, both of whom are telling themselves that they aren’t interested in falling in love again, admit to their developing feelings for one another?
Lisa Harris leaves out no details for the reader to wonder about in this fast-paced suspense. The characters are well developed, with more than one side to them. Even the serial killer has a mother who loves him and still believes in him. Family members of main characters come into the mystery. Settings and scenes are well described.
The ending ties together the strings of the main suspense plot, but leaves the reader wanting to get to know the main characters and their families even better, and solve another ongoing mystery.
