About TRAPPED

Carter Sykes survived combat in the Middle East and years as an inner-city school teacher and principal, but can he stay alive long enough to stop a serial killer, find a missing girl, and avoid being the scapegoat for all the murderer's crimes? Trapped is perfect for the fans of Freida McFadden's THE TEACHER, and the psychological thrillers of Charlie Donlea and Jenny Milchman. Carter's childhood experiences have cursed him with the extraordinary ability to relive other people's most traumatic moment when they touch hin. These "traps" have led Carter to lead two lives--during the day, he dedicates himself to helping kids and families at his school and a local homeless shelter; however, he spends nights seeking anonymous encounters with strangers in Louisville Kentucky’s sex club.. However, after a young woman touches him at a protest outside his school, Carter's public and secret lives collide, forcing him to confront his traumatic past and play a deadly cat-and-mouse game with a sinister serial killer before the murderer strikes again. Carter is flawed, heroic, and unforgettable. With the help of his mysterious sister, a homeless man with a violent past, a kind-hearted social worker, and a conflicted police officer, he navigates a seedy underworld of sex and violence in his efforts to save abducted girls from the clever "Good Girl Killer," who sees Carter as a potential scapegoat for his crimes.
