The Chase

The adrenaline-fueled second installment of Harris’s U.S. Marshals series (after Escape) centers on a series of Seattle bank robberies. It’s deputy U.S. marshal Madison James’s first day back at work after recovering from being shot, and she’s assigned a case with her partner Jonas Quinn to investigate a group of bank robbers. The only clues they have are a partial fingerprint and eyewitness accounts. When Madison and Jonas respond to a bank robbery in progress, the suspects create a diversion and lose themselves in a crowd of bank hostages. But Madison and Jonas pick up their trail and follow the suspects from one hostage situation to another as they keep miraculously slipping away. When someone breaks into Madison’s home, she is thrust back into the trauma of being shot and the unsolved murder of her husband. As Madison and Jonas pursue the suspects, they admit their growing attraction to each other and must decide whether to risk their partnership for the chance of love. While faith elements are light, this whirlwind fast-paced chase will please fans of Terri Blackstock. (July)
