Trapped

By: James Patterson, Max DiLallo

Narrated by: Justin Hartley, Stana Katic, Elizabeth Rodriguez, Rhenzy Feliz, full cast

Twenty thousand hostages. New York’s most famous building. And an FBI agent forced to face his darkest demons.

When Russian terrorists seize control of New York's iconic Empire State Building, FBI crisis negotiator Theo Requa is thrust back into action.

Still reeling from an incident that left his FBI partner dead just months ago, Theo faces a shocking revelation: the terrorists' spokesperson is none other than Christine Travers, his former FBI partner, who he’s sure he watched die in the line of duty.

The terrorists claim they want $119 million from a prominent senator, but their true target may be something far more valuable.

From James Patterson, the world's #1 bestselling author, comes an edge-of-your-seat audio thriller starring Justin Hartley (Tracker) and Stana Katic (Castle). Trapped takes listeners inside a hostage crisis like no other, where loyalty and betrayal intertwine, and one negotiator's personal demons could determine the fate of New York City's most famous landmark—and the tens of thousands of people inside.
