Super Bowl Week is supposed to be fun, right?
One mafia boss sees a way to make a killing…

The Jets and the Cowboys are playing in the first Super Bowl in Port City’s new billion-dollar stadium. My old friend Bob Martinez, is starting quarterback for the Jets.

A week before the game, Bob’s supermodel fiancée, Graciela, disappears from the headquarters hotel. Bob hires me to find her but won’t let me involve the cops.

That same day the odds on the Super Bowl game explode when someone bets $100,000,000 on the Cowboys to beat the point spread.

Was Graciela really kidnapped, or did she run away from a twisted secret that threatens her life? And what is Bob struggling so hard to keep me from finding out?

My search leads me from the dangerous streets of a Port City ghetto to the private island mansions of billionaires, movie stars, and crime bosses. When I start to untangle the web of lies and corruption, one crime boss decides to get serious.

As serious as a funeral—mine.

About the Carlos McCrary Series

This fast-paced private investigator mystery thriller series has fans all over the globe. If you enjoy gripping thrillers that mix action, suspense, humor, and plot twists—all with a PG-13 rating—this series is for you.

Find out why N.L. Quatrano said: “Gorham writes the old-time type of good buy/bad guy story with today’s immediate action. The Carlos series is one worth reading, especially if you’ve ever been a fan of Elmore Leonard or Robert B. Parker—but Carlos McCrary is his own kind of PI. Each book has more twists and turns than the one before. Stories are well constructed and readers will enjoy from beginning to end.”

What Amazon readers are saying:

★★★★★ “An American knight. Tough, honorable and passionate…”

★★★★★ “Great read! Will recommend it to all of my friends.”

★★★★★ “Dallas Gorham books [rank] with the best of the mystery writers…”

★★★★★ “I ordered several more books by this author.”

★★★★★ “Mystery, intrigue, murder, and betrayal—this book has it all!”

★★★★★ “Be prepared to lose sleep because once you start reading, you won’t be able to put this one down.”

★★★★★ “Really liked the characters and the setting which enhanced the story.”

A note from the author:

I am a serious mystery and thriller fan. My novels reflect the books I like to read—usually private detective novels, any of the action, thriller and mystery best sellers, and, of course, books with classic heroes like Spenser (he with no first name) and Jack Reacher (who has a first name but doesn’t use it much). Basically, I like stories with a kick-butt, take-no-prisoners attitude and fast-paced action. And maybe a little sex.

Review

This is a great suspenseful and thrilling mystery that, while geared towards men with the football theme, will keep everyone on the edge of theirseats.
To be clear, I am not a football fan, and I very muchenjoyed this book. I read it all in one sitting, completely unable toput it down until the plot was resolved.
Gorham's writing styleis easy to follow and he doesn't bog the reader down with statistics orfootball-speak that might alienate readers who don't really follow thesport.
I loved all the characters and thought they wereexcellently written. Chuck is great as the main character and I can seehim starring in future novels, such as Alex Delaware for JonathanKellerman, etc.
Even if you're not a football fan, if you enjoy a good mystery/thriller, then I can definitely recommend this one to you.

From the Author

Interviewwith Dallas Gorham

Q - What makes the Carlos McCrary series exceptional?

A - I consider myself a serious mystery and thriller fan. My novels reflect thekind of books I actually read. My top picks are usually private investigatorand detective novels, any of the thousands of thrillers and mysteries bestsellers, and, of course, books featuring classic heroes: Elvis Cole, Joe Pike, StephaniePlum, King & Maxwell, Harry Bosch, Jesse Stone, Spenser (he with no firstname) and Jack Reacher (who has a first name but doesn't use it much).

Basically, I like stories with a kick-butt, take-no-prisoners attitude andfast-paced action. And maybe a little PG-13 sex.

The Carlos McCrary books are a great mix of these genres. The series focuses onthe mystery/thriller/private investigator genre overall, with a couple ofvigilante justice thrillers thrown in, some political corruption thrillers, andsome organized crime and mafia involvement to keep things interesting!

Overall, I designed the series to keep you up late at night. Once you start abook, it's hard to quit. My favorite emails from readers are those that say, "Istayed up until 4:00 a.m. finishing your book. I simply couldn't put it downand go to sleep." I know those readers got their money's worth.

Q - So, why should readers trythese books?

A - Because the Carlos McCrary series is a fast, fun, thrill-ride that takes noprisoners! Ultimately, if you go for lightning-fast pacing with a plot thattwists and turns all the way to the end, you will get a kick out of Carlos.

Q - In what order should I readthe books?

A - You can read the books in any order. All the stories tie up nicely by thetime you finish. If you want to read them in order, Here's the sequence:

- I'm No Hero (ashort story prequel that introduces Carlos McCrary as a Green Beret inAfghanistan in the military rescue that earned him the Bronze Star medal and aPurple Heart)
- Six Murders Too Many
- Double Fake, Double Murder
- Quarterback Trap
- Dangerous Friends
- Day of the Tiger
- McCrary's Justice
- Yesterday's Trouble
- Four Years Gone

And thanks for reading!

Private Investigator Carlos McCrary is the kind of man women want and men want to be. He’s handsome and confident, loyal and lethal—that is, loyal to his friends and lethal to his enemies.

Bob Martinez, a longtime friend who is the quarterback for the New York Jets in the Super Bowl, calls McCrary for help. One week before the big game, Bob’s supermodel fiancée disappears, and he asks McCrary to find her without involving police or the FBI. What isn’t Bob telling him?

The trail leads McCrary into the glamorous lifestyles of the rich and famous and the seedy underworld of drug dealers, high-stakes gamblers, and mobsters. Every clue brings as many questions as answers and draws McCrary deeper into the dragon’s den. Will he rescue Bob’s woman in time, and does she deserve saving?

Huddle up and discover all the dark secrets in Gorham’s exciting and intriguing mystery, “Quarterback Trap,” another winner in the Carlos McCrary Series.

Not the most exciting book

Reviewed in the United States on May 31, 2020

This book was an okay read. It kept me interested but not on the edge of my seat. Just entertainingly interesting. I did like that McCrary was not perfect. For all his accomplishments to date, he seemed real most of the time. The story lost it for me in the end when (spoiler) he set protection for Gracie at 16 hours a day. What reader is going to believe that the bad guy is going to stick to those hours and not get to his victim sometime during the other 8 hours...just because they were in the middle of the night???

Complicated plot

Reviewed in the United States on March 10, 2020

Even tho I'm not really interested in pro sports, this book was interesting in that it explained the ins and outs of big time betting. Carlos McCrary certainly has friends in high places and is not afraid to use them! But some of his antics just seemed to be too good to be true. Can't imagine anyone in real life getting away with what Carlos did in this book! Good escapism reading!

Great Mystery! The plot has some interesting turns and twists.I found it hard to put down-that is a real page turner. He sets the scenes quite well. My only reservations was with the ease that Dallas McCrary was able to access information that is normally walled off from the public. He explains the reasons for this ability, but still seemed excessive at times. I would recommend this book to lovers of mystery novels.

Dallas Gorham has written another page turner full of interesting twists and turns throughout. Being a football fan, I loved the football theme. The great character descriptions made them come to life. It was definitely a page turner. I definitely will read another one of his Carlos McCrary novels.
