• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

When her older sister is taken by force before her eyes, 14 year old Carrie is forced to hide what she saw. Now, one year later and nearly suicidal from keeping this secret, she enters a mental hospital where the abductor happens to work.

The author worked in mental hospitals for 14 years. He knows the challenges and fears that patients can feel. But for Carrie, her stay is far more frightening than normal. She is as torn as she is threatened. Will her fear of revealing her terrible secret doom her family to suffer more than they already have? And will her silence send the wrong man to prison for life? But if she tells what she knows, are the consequences even more dire?

"Carrie's Secret" takes you into a Boston mental hospital in the 1980s as a suburban couple struggles to understand and help their threatened daughter. And she is not the only one in danger there. When she falls or is pushed out a window, there are many suspects among the patients and staff, but the police settle on Jared, an aide at the hospital, as their prime suspect. And then there is Carrie's older sister Wendy, a beautiful girl who disappeared without a trace a year before. What happened to her is the start of everything. It seems almost everyone is trapped one way or another and you will keep turning the pages right up to the unexpected twist at the end.

Autorenporträt

I am the author of psychological mystery and suspense novels and short stories. I have published two books so far, with a third on the way.

Originally from Boston, I grew up in Westport, Connecticut where my first novel, Development, takes place. After college, I lived in and around Boston and that is where Carrie's Secret is set. At present, I am working on my third novel, a Las Vegas mystery, tentatively titled Empty Luck. I graduated from Brown University with a concentration in psychology and later received graduate degrees from Boston University and Boston College.

I have had a diverse career, including working as a psychologist, hospital admissions director, information technology consultant, Internet entrepreneur, and Wall Street day trader. In my spare time, I enjoy playing piano and guitar as well as staggering around on a golf course, playing poker, and generally traveling overseas as much as possible.

I am passionate about nature and the natural world inspires and rejuvenates me. That is why I support animal rights, ecology and conservation causes. I love being around woods and ponds, but oddly, after a rather peripatetic life, I am now nested in New York City with my wife, artist Karen Loew.
