Official synopsis Publisher

‘Dark, creepy and very clever, The Trap will lure you in and keep you captive until the very last page’ – C L TAYLOR

‘Topical, twisty, and with a real heart stopper of a moment halfway in that’ll make you turn the lights back on’ – GILLIAN MCALLISTER

Stranded on a dark road in the middle of the night, a young woman accepts a lift from a passing stranger. It’s the nightmare scenario that every girl is warned about, and she knows the dangers all too well – but what other choice does she have?

As they drive, she alternates between fear and relief – one moment thinking he is just a good man doing a good thing, the next convinced he’s a monster. But when he delivers her safely to her destination, she realizes her fears were unfounded.

And her heart sinks. Because a monster is what she’s looking for.

She’ll try again tomorrow night. But will the man who took her sister take the bait?

Inspired by a series of still-unsolved disappearances, The Trap is the startlingly original new thriller from internationally bestselling author Catherine Ryan Howard.
