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.

Riveting

I was engaged the whole time. Diverse cast. Easy to follow. Great vocal performances and dramatic soundscape.

I stared at my phone the whole time. !

This has been by far the most exciting audible! It was like watching whole move in my mind the thrill and excitement had me glued to my phone for the / hours.

I Wish This Was A Movie

Great actors and very believable! The storyline kept me anticipating the next turn. I hope there is a part 2

Another Patterson Great!

Love the suspense!!! Made it so enjoyable knowing I had this to listen to while walking!

I love the evolution of the plot. Christine’s character was fascinating.

I loved every single voice actor in this story. The antagonists escape strategy seemed lazy and not very well thought out. Patterson could have been better. But still, I loved the story.
