*** Enjoy this short story prequel to Icy Silence, Book #3 in the Megan Scott/Michael Elliott Mystery series. ***

Megan Scott’s car takes a hit—literally—when a pedestrian is shoved onto the hood. Even worse, the man is one of two notorious prison escapees on the loose in Montreal. Megan chases the felon through the Old Port, convinced that her photographic evidence will lead to his capture.

Just as the escapee disappears aboard a yacht in the marina, another man forces Megan aboard the same yacht at knifepoint. Gagged, tied, and terrified, she witnesses a murder.

Will she be next?

It's very nice of Sandra to publish this snippet to remind me how much I enjoy her series featuring the very interesting and likeable characters Megan Scott and Michael Elliot. The transition to her next novel causes my anticipation for "Icy Silence" to grow. Bring it on Sandra I'll be in the pre-order group.

Timely Escape is a short story with the same main characters as Sandra Nikolai's full length novel series. Megan gets into trouble with a couple of prisoners on the lam in Montreal's old port. It was a great short read while I wait for the 3rd novel in the series, which I hope will be out soon.

Great stand-alone short story with plenty of action and tension; and a terrific tie-in to Sandra's next novel.
