Deadly Connection

Kathy Harris

After fending off a would-be abductor, twenty-seven-year-old singer-songwriter Hannah Cassidy hides behind a car in the half-empty parking lot behind Pancake Pantry and watches in horror as her attacker grabs another woman and pushes her into a nearby car. Within seconds, the vehicle speeds away.

TBI Special Agent Jake Matheson may have planned a quiet day off and a date with Shannon—the only name her online profile revealed—for an introductory lunch, but soon after pulling into a parking space on 21st Avenue South, he hears a scream. Jake races to the back of the building and finds a frightened young woman bent forward and gasping for breath.

Jake presents his badge, and Hannah explains what she just witnessed. The pieces fall into place quickly for Jake. Shannon, who fits the same general physical description as Hannah, with long, wavy blonde hair, medium height and medium build, is most likely the victim. But what was the motive? Was this the work of an international trafficking ring or a lone wolf? Did Shannon’s abductor grab her because she was in the wrong place at the wrong time? Or was she being stalked, perhaps because of her profile on the online dating app? Had the attacker confused the two women, and, if so, was Hannah Cassidy being stalked, and was she still in danger?

After the police arrive, Hannah comes to grips with what has happened. She has avoided death or injury at the expense of another woman. Guilt sets in, not only for her but for Jake, who can only assume that Shannon would be safe right now if he hadn’t invited her to lunch.

Thrown together by uncanny circumstances and driven by the whys and what ifs of secrets yet to be revealed, Jake and Hannah set out to piece together the connection between them—and Shannon. Will they make that connection in time, or will it prove to be deadly?
