One Was Meant to Escape (The Call - A Thriller Series Book 3)
About
The crash was no accident. The open doors were no mistake. But only one prisoner was supposed to escape.
When an Idaho corrections transport van crashes on a remote stretch of Highway 13, Calvin “Cal” Dorsey stops to help. He finds a dead officer, an injured transport officer, and three prisoners suddenly loose in the rugged country of North Central Idaho.
Then Cal calls 911.
Before dispatcher Terri Brandt can fully understand what has happened, the emergency changes again. Cal disappears. The prisoners scatter. And what first looks like a catastrophic transport accident begins revealing signs that someone planned for one of those men to get away.
The problem is that three men walked through the open doors.
Across the Camas Prairie and into the isolated South Fork Clearwater River country, Sheriff Doug Smith and his deputies face a widening search with too many directions, too few answers, and miles of difficult terrain between them. One escapee is violent. Another is frightened and improvising. The third seems to be moving with a purpose no one else understands.
Meanwhile, Cal is still alive.
Cut off from help and trapped inside a plan that was never meant to include him, he must watch, remember, and wait for whatever small opportunity might leave a trail behind.
As physical evidence begins contradicting the story told by the wreck, the investigation turns toward a more dangerous question. If the crash was engineered to free one particular prisoner, who wanted him out badly enough to risk everyone else on that road?
And what happens when a carefully constructed escape plan creates two fugitives nobody planned for, a civilian nobody expected, and consequences nobody can control?
Set against the real roads, forests, prairie, river canyons, and unforgiving distances of North Central Idaho, ONE WAS MEANT TO ESCAPE is Book Three of THE CALL – A THRILLER SERIES, a stand-alone adult thriller where every emergency begins with a call.
