Sixteen-year-old Sierra Hampton is snatched off the street in broad daylight outside her exclusive academy, leaving her best friend as the only witness to the abduction.
When FBI Supervisory Special Agent Cassie Viera and her team are called in, the motive appears obvious: the kidnappers want a payout from Sierra’s wealthy father, tech CEO Derek Hampton. But as the investigation unfolds, Derek’s suspicious behavior and reluctance to cooperate raise troubling questions. Is he hiding something—or someone? Is his daughter’s kidnapping even darker and more complex than it seems?
For Sierra, captivity brings its own terrifying mysteries. Her father seems to be taking forever to pay the ransom, and the people holding her may be after far more than money. She’s trapped in a sinister, isolated world governed by rules she doesn''t understand and people who believe those rules are normal.
Among them is Astra, a young woman who offers friendship and comfort. But Astra has spent months immersed in the kidnappers’ ideology. Is she an ally, another victim, or someone far more dangerous?
As Agent Viera closes in on the truth, she discovers Sierra’s abduction is tied to secrets far darker than a simple ransom scheme. And if she can’t unravel them in time, Sierra may disappear forever into a nightmare from which there is no escape.
Death Trap is a twisty thriller that is perfect for fans of Patterson, Slaughter, and Baldacci.
