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.

Please note: This audio drama is for mature audiences only. It contains violence and adult language. Discretion is advised.

Available in Dolby Atmos on Audible.

I'd rather read a full James Patterson book then listen to this again. It is not one of his best but good that it's free on Audible.

An easy listen but pretty cringe worthy

I found this dramatization to be very well written and performed by a talented full cast. I didn't find there to be any major plot holes or loose ends. Definitely worth your time if this type of storyline is your thing, I liked the perspective from the negotiator, and the dynamic between him and Christine is entertaining.

A tightly written dramatized story

Not my normal choice but the narration and story got me hooked from the get go and I couldn't stop till I had finished
Hoping there is a follow up
