Lacey’s past has caught up with her. Traveling with her daughter, Emily, on the Amtrak Texas Eagle, she sees a man who she believes is an assassin, Ishmael Shavik, take a seat in her car. Suddenly, the air is filled with the screeching sounds of metal on metal.  Lacey is thrown out of her seat.

When she awakens, she is in a hospital with her arm secured by a handcuff to the bed.  An FBI agent informs her that she is accused her of murdering an NSA agent. Worse, the FBI agent claims there is no record of Emily being a passenger on the train. Lacey manages to sneak a phone call to a friend, Jim Micah, who comes to her aid. 

FLEE THE NIGHT is a great romantic suspense story. As Jim and Lacey flee the hospital, they realize there may a mole in the NSA who engineered the murder of Lacey’s husband and a great story develops as they search to uncover the truth and find Lacey's daughter.  Two of Susan’s books, THE PERFECT MATCH and TYING THE KNOT have previously been reviewed on Roundtable Reviews. I’ll be looking for more of her work in the future.
