Trapped by Chris Jordan

Author Rodman Philbrick writing as Chris Jordan


"Mom, I need your help. Please call—"

That's it. The call cuts off in midsentence.

No static. Nothing.


Just an overwhelming silence.


Long Island single mom Jane Hartley is frantic when her sixteen-year-old daughter, Kelly, a survivor of childhood leukemia, disappears from her bedroom one night. To Jane's frustration, the police believe that Kelly ran off willingly with her boyfriend, Seth. Unaware that her daughter even had a boyfriend, Jane soon discovers that Seth is no boy. He is an adult—a man who, after meeting Kelly on MySpace.com, took the teenager on one thrill-seeking ride after another. From motorcycles to skydiving, Jane's little girl has been hiding some dangerous secrets.


Like mother, like daughter.


Adamant that Kelly is not a runaway but, rather, is being held against her will, Jane hires ex-FBI agent Randall Shane to follow the trail of her missing child. But every step brings them closer to a cold-blooded predator lurking in the shadows . . . coiled around Jane's shameful secret . . . waiting to strike.


A thrilling suspense novel, Trapped is every mother's nightmare and one monster's dream come true.
