About this listen

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.

Lots of twists and turns. It was a little frustrating, in that Agent Requa was always right, and yet his superior, Agent Barnes, kept doing the opposite of what he recommended. But there was lots of action, and I enjoyed each new revelation. It looks like this could perhaps become a series. If you like Mission Impossible or Jack Reacher, you’ll like this. The narration was really well done.

That was my first mystery here in Audible.
I really enjoyed it. He was entertaining and well done. Kept me interested right through from beginning to end
I normally listen to books that are teaching me something
But I’m trying to make myself take a brain break once in a while.

I wish I could find another like it,
I’m sure they’re in here someplace
it seems like most have just one or two persons telling the story. But I’m still searching.

I liked the variety of voices
