MARINATED HERB BAKED SALMON
Setting the Scene:
Sarah wanted supper to be special. John and Kathy were always doing for her, and
she wanted to show her appreciation. The store where she was going was off the main
street, but to her way of thinking, it had the best salmon fillets in Boulder County. It was
only a block past her house that she noticed a car pull away from the curb and follow her.
She pickedup speed. So did the maroon car. She slowed; it slowed. Instead of heading for
the store, she decided to go off in another direction to one of the parks. Sarah stood back
in some trees and watched as a man got out and crossed the street. he was hurrying in the
direction of the park.
PERILOUS SUMMER is a contemporary novel written by the suspense writing
team of Carol Randy. It explores the common thread that links fraud, assault, extortion,
murder and a twelve-year-old boy on the brink of incarceration in a juvenile detention
center. Try Sarah’s delicious recipe for marinated herb baked salmon.
Excerpt from PERILOUS SUMMER:
“Who are you? Why are you following me?”
For a very brief moment she toyed with confronting the man. Instead, she waited
until he reached the north edge of the park and made a dash for her car. Without looking
back, she took a left turn at the next corner and was long gone before he could get back
into his car.
