In this #1 Wall Street Journal bestseller, Tracy Crosswhite must first identify the victim to catch the killer.

When a woman's body is discovered submerged in a crab pot in the chilly waters of Puget Sound, Detective Tracy Crosswhite finds herself with a tough case to untangle. Before they can identify the killer, Tracy and her colleagues on the Seattle PD's Violent Crimes Section must figure out who the victim is. Her autopsy, however, reveals she may have gone to great lengths to conceal her identity. So who was she running from?

After evidence surfaces that their Jane Doe may be a woman who suspiciously disappeared months earlier, Tracy is once again haunted by the memory of her sister's unsolved murder. Dredging up details from the woman's past leads to conflicting clues that only seem to muddy the investigation. As Tracy begins to uncover a twisted tale of brutal betrayal and desperate greed, she'll find herself risking everything to confront a killer who won't go down without a deadly fight. Once again, New York Times bestselling author Robert Dugoni delivers a taut, riveting thriller in the fourth installment of his acclaimed Tracy Crosswhite series.

Review

"In Dugoni’s outstanding fourth Tracy Crosswhite mystery, the Seattle homicide detective investigates the death of Andrea Strickland, a young woman whose body a fisherman finds in a crab pot raised from the sea...In less deft hands this tale wouldn’t hold water, but Dugoni presents his victim’s life in discrete pieces, each revealing a bit more about Andrea and her struggle to find happiness. Tracy’s quest to uncover the truth leads her into life-altering peril in this exceptional installment." ―Publishers Weekly, Starred Review

“Dugoni drills so deep into the troubled relationships among his characters that each new revelation shows them in a disturbing new light…an unholy tangle of crimes makes this his best book to date.” ―Kirkus Reviews

“Dugoni has a gift for creating compelling characters and mysteries that seem straightforward, but his stories, like an onion, have many hidden layers. He also is able to capture the spirit and atmosphere of the Pacific Northwest, making the environment come alive.…another winner from Dugoni.” ―Associated Press

“All of Robert Dugoni's talents are once again firmly on display in The Trapped Girl, a blisteringly effective crime thriller…structured along classical lines drawn years ago by the likes of Raymond Chandler and Dashiell Hammett. A fiendishly clever tale that colors its pages with crisp shades of postmodern noir.” ―Providence Journal

“Robert Dugoni, yet again, delivers an excellent read.…With many twists, turns, and jumps in the road traveled by the detective and her cohorts, this absolutely superb plot becomes more than just a little entertaining. The problem remains the same: Readers must now once again wait impatiently for the next book by Robert Dugoni to arrive.” ―Suspense Magazine

“The Trapped Girl is a blistering mystery, and some of Robert Dugoni’s best work to date.” ―The Real Book Spy

“Dugoni weaves an intricate and absorbing story that’s as hot as the unseasonable Seattle weather his detective battles through.” ―Authorlink

Praise for The Tracy Crosswhite Series:

“Combines the best of a police procedural with a legal thriller, and the end result is outstanding…Dugoni continues to deliver emotional and gut-wrenching, character-driven suspense stories that will resonate with any fan of the thriller genre.” ―Library Journal, Starred Review

“Dugoni does a masterful job... If you are not already reading his books, you should be!” ―BookReporter

“Dugoni does a superior job of positioning [the plot elements] for maximum impact...” ―Publishers Weekly

“Well written, and its classic premise is sure to absorb legal-thriller fans…The characters are richly detailed and true to life, and the ending is sure to please fans.” ―Kirkus Reviews

“A stunningly suspenseful exercise in terror that hits every note at the perfect pitch.” ―Providence Journal

“Dugoni has become one of the best crime novelists in the business, and his latest featuring Seattle homicide detective Tracy Crosswhite will only draw more accolades.” ―Romantic Times, Top Pick

A promising start but...

Reviewed in Australia on 25 September 2019

"The Trapped Girl" is fourth in author, Robert Dugoni’s Tracy Crosswhite series. The story gets off to a cracking start when a crab fisherman stumbles upon a crab pot in the chilly waters of Puget Sound off Seattle. Trouble is, it wasn’t filled with crabs, but a woman’s body. Tracy and her colleagues at the Seattle Police Department’s Violent Crimes Section are handed the case but have a troubling start when they find it difficult to identify the victim. It appears from her autopsy that she has gone to great lengths to conceal her identity. When evidence comes to light that the unidentified woman could be a person who had disappeared some months earlier, Tracy is haunted by the memory of her own sister’s unsolved murder. One by one the clues are uncovered, but as they are, the mystery seems to deepen. And there’s a shock – and grave danger – for Tracy when the real culprit is eventually identified.

Despite the promising start and an exciting dénouement in "The Trapped Girl", I could not describe this book as a thriller, more a plodding whodunit. I acknowledge and respect Robert Dugoni as a NYT bestselling author but the description on Amazon’s website, “a taut, riveting thriller” just doesn’t cut it for me. There were just too many parts of the narrative sandwiched between the opening and closing parts of the story that had me drifting off to other things jockeying for position in my mind. "The Trapped Girl" is worth a read, but more for lovers of murder/mystery novels.

A missing wife who disappeared off a mountain, a dead woman in a crab pot. A trust fund, a cheating husband and a Detective who won't give up until the truth is known. You may think you know how this one will go but Robert Dugoni will surprise you. Loved this book.

Riveting Read !

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 28 January 2017

I have just finished this book, I could not put it down. It was a riveting, brilliant read, full of twists and turns. This book kept me guessing right up to the end and I never would have got the ending. This is unusual for me, which made the story so satisfying and enjoyable to read. I have read all the Tracy Crosswhite series and I cannot wait for the next book. I will not go into the plot as other reviews have already done so, but I will say that the characters are very likeable, Tracey and Dan are developing really well and I sincerely hope the author continues in this vein as "lonely, unsociable crime fighters " are two a penny. A fully believable character, smart and dedicated, in a steady relationship makes the horror of the crimes more real.
The hint at future "cold cases" wets my appetite and I hope not all the victims are young females, otherwise it would be a form of type casting that would wear very thin. A very enjoyable read, I have no hesitation in recommending it.

Terrific Again And Superb Presentation, Too

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 14 March 2018

Another terrific book in this series. For me, all have been 5* apart from book 2 so that's a hat-trick now ! There were some very funny lines in this one as well that I highlighted as they totally appealed to my sense of humour. We have all the "regulars" featured which I enjoy. It's nice to see them all again and see what they're up to in their personal lives as well as live through their latest cases with them.
I couldn't make my mind up about the Jane Doe who features in this story. One minute she comes across as a victim you feel sorry for, then she'll say or do something completely out of character (from her diaries) and it makes you wonder. It's a book that totally keeps you on your toes and I made guesses throughout as to what I thought was going on......and as usual got most of them wrong !! Poor Tracy has to work on a lot of this case with a cop called Fields who is THE biggest dinosaur she's happened across, I think. A right sexist pig who needed slapping down hard perhaps thirty years before and he'd not have been such a dick now !!
I still get bothered in books based in America when they write like this-"You want me to come with ?"
I don't really understand why they talk like this and it smacks me in the face every time they do !! He used "salute" as opposed to "salut" when making toasts, too. The only time I spotted any punctuation was wrong was one missing comma in "My how the mighty have fallen" and that was it. Very good going indeed. The ending made me sniffy but it ended as I'd wanted it to. I'm looking forward to book 5 in the series.

Good detective story, obviously written by an expert.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 6 June 2017

Tracy Crosswhite is suspicious when a young woman disappears, there are strange anomalies in her husband's account of events leading to her taking an assumed name. When her body is discovered by a million to one chance, (a young fisherman hooks a lobster cage to find a body inside), it sets off a chain of events that lead to a brilliant ending. The victim, Andrea, gives her story along the way, which is really interesting. Her husband is a manipulative liar, and it soon becomes obvious she is afraid of him. Tracy has her work cut out for her, which is hampered by Nalesco, her boss, who doesn't like her, and cannot wait to get the case transferred to another jurisdiction. The officer in this force is awkward and does all he can to keep her ill informed as the case goes back and forth.

I have had this book on my kindle since 2017 but decided to go back to the Tracy Crosswhite series after reading Robert Dugoni's most recent book. #4 in the series is an excellent story and one that has made me book in the next couple to my reading list - they too have been hanging around for four years.

Another great plotline, I can't stop reading the Tracy Crosswhite books. I'm racing through them because they are real old fashioned whodunit. Modern technology doesn't over take the need for smart thinking as in so many modern police dramas. Its all down to figuring it out by the murder squad.
