The Trap
What you need to know before your trail
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?

Ashling Murphy went missing in January 2022 in Tullamore. They call the area where these women and other went missing as The Vanishing Triangle.
The novel is not about The Vanishing Triangle or the women it took, but is made up but it is something that she wanted to explore.
