More on An American Cage

This action-packed psychological thriller is loaded with suspense, mystery, twists, and grit, all while having heart. 

The story follows Danny and his two escape partners on a journey of self-discovery and redemption as they weave through a rocky landscape of family issues, guilt, betrayal, and questions about the nature of good and evil.

You'll meet an eclectic supporting cast, including a renowned neuroscience professor, a car thief, a young female hitchhiker, a high-ranking member of the Aryan Brotherhood, and a local cop with national ambitions.

An American Cage is enjoyed by lovers of popular crime fiction and psychological suspense, a police chase book just as much as it is a psychological manipulation book. 

A hard-boiled police procedural, this Amazon #1 bestseller follows traditional detectives and police officers as they hunt the three escaped prisoners across a bevy of small towns and big cities in Texas. 

At the same time, the novel evolves into a work of sociopath crime fiction as the true intentions of characters come to light, which are unexpectedly dark, disturbing, and scary, involving kidnapping, ransom, and even murder. 

Soon, Danny is fighting for a lot more than his freedom. His life, and those of the ones dearest to him, are at stake. 

Vengeful, he battles to right wrongs and keep himself and the innocent characters safe within the cyclone of devious machinations swirling around him.    

This edgy thriller culminates in a surprise ending sure to leave you both stunned and satisfied.

With echoes of the upmarket novels of writers like Dennis Lehane, An American Cage goes deep into its characters' psyches while remaining fast-paced, gripping, and wildly entertaining.

It's a must-have for fans of Kindle Unlimited suspense thrillers, especially the psychological thrillers Kindle Unlimited offers.

Ted Galdi is also the author of the novels Elixir and Lion on Fire, and the short stories A Road to Nowhere and Hazel Is Missing.
