Florian and Margaret find themselves investigating a case that hits close to home when Marcus is suspected of being in league with the mob and is in danger of losing his job with the FBI. Their investigation takes them to The Library of Congress and other libraries in the DC area where books are being used as a way to smuggle national secrets. Four suspects all involved with a case that Marcus worked on early in his career are scrutinized as Florian and Margaret search for clues to exonerate him, but a secret Florian has been keeping from Margaret could end their friendship forever.

Trapped! is the third and unfortunately the final book in the Framed! series. Once again, Florian and Margaret's investigation unearths secrets and lies that will affect them both. Fast paced action and a clever mystery propel this story forward as each character faces some kind of personal crisis. As with the other two books in this series, the connections between the main characters make us care about them as they strive to solve the case. Overall, Trapped! is a very good end to a wonderful series. Perhaps there will be new books added to this series at some future date. 4 1/2 stars. ( )
