Girl Trap

Two inquiries come to MDPI on the same day that seem like fairly straight-forward missing person cases. It doesn’t take long to discover there’s nothing ordinary about the disappearance of two beautiful sisters from Minnesota or the case of an estranged heiress who has never touched her eight-figure fortune.

While Madeline’s partner, Mike Delaney, heads down to Los Angeles to search for his cousin’s vanished girlfriend and her sister, Madeline heads north to San Luis Obispo in hopes of picking up a twelve-year-old trail at a Catholic boarding school.

Their separate pursuits lead them into a world where a frightening reality hides behind a glossy veneer. With several lives hanging in the balance, Mike and Madeline are faced with daunting odds and ruthless criminals who will kill to keep what they have taken.

“Girl Trap” is the Book 3 in the Madeline Dawkins Mystery series.

Reviews

“In the third installment of the series, we spend most of our time mingling with a mere day and a half in the private eye’s life, and we’re there with her every second. Dawkins’ unique blend of savvy, intelligence, grit, and intuition help lead us through a labyrinth of danger and unique experience. Yet unlike many contemporary mystery series, Hamilton is not afraid to get real. In Girl Trap we read of human sex trafficking and mental illness, and we’re reminded of those sobering, complex issues in our real world.”

“This book has exceeded my expectations, as well as surprised and delighted me. I love the character development and the way the relationships have evolved. The story is engaging and I was swept away and kept guessing until the end. I really love Ms. Hamilton’s skilled writing and I feel she has outdone herself on this one, bravo!”
