About the Author * * * * * Chapter 1 The oppressive feeling of having his life completely out of control pressed in on Trey Masters like a heavy fog. Could it be any worse? His stomach clenched. His skin chilled and the rush of his pulse said yes, yes, hell yeah it could be a lot worse, a whole lot worse. He could be ostracized for a crime he didn't commit. He could be in prison with a thousand inmates looking for a chance to jump and shank him. He could be in some unmarked grave. So yeah, it could be a hell of a lot worse. And that only scratched the surface of real horror, the things that had already happened to kids he didn't know—and what could have happened to his students or the kids he coached. He shivered, goose bumps rising along his arms.
