Caught by Harlan Coben. Library Call Number: PS3553.O225C38 2010.
The
author of The Woods and Hold Tight returns with another
high-octane, contemporary thriller.
When a 17-year-old girl, a high school superstar, doesn’t come
home one night and vanishes, the community assumes the worst. That’s when
tabloid reporter Wendy Tynes gets involved; she identifies sexual predators via
a news program called Caught in the Act, featuring elaborate, nationally
televised sting operations. She targets a social worker, Dan Mercer, known to
work with troubled teens, and labels him a sexual predator. But is he?
“In a novel that challenges as much as it thrills, filled with the astonishing tension and unseen suburban machinations that have become Coben's trademark, Caught tells the story of a missing girl, the community stunned by her loss, the predator who may have taken her, and the reporter who suddenly realizes she can't trust her own instincts about this story-or the motives of the people around her.”
