Publisher Description

From the #1 New York Times bestselling master of suspense comes a fast-paced, emotion-packed novel about guilt, grief, and our capacity to forgive 17-year-old Haley McWaid is a good girl, the pride of her suburban New Jersey family, captain of the lacrosse team, headed off to college next year with all the hopes and dreams her doting parents can pin on her. Which is why, when her mother wakes one morning to find that Haley never came home the night before, and three months quickly pass without word from the girl, the community assumes the worst. Wendy Tynes is a reporter on a mission, to identify and bring down sexual predators via elaborate--and nationally televised--sting operations. Working with local police on her news program Caught in the Act, Wendy and her team have publicly shamed dozens of men by the time she encounters her latest target. Dan Mercer is a social worker known as a friend to troubled teens, but his story soon becomes more complicated than Wendy could have imagined. 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.

""Another Coben page turner. Caught tells the story of Dan Mercer, accused of being a pedophile and set up in a televised sting by reporter Wendy Tynes. However she begins to question whether Dan is really guilty, and as she investigates, we discovers that 3 out of 4 of his college roommates were also involved in scandals in the last year. Her investigation unravels a complex web of secrets that keep you guessing until the very end.""

    " Pretty well anything by Coben is a good read. There are one or two twists in the plot that I never saw coming. The story demonstrates why there are trials instead of vigilantism. "

    " True to form, lots of twists in this one. I did figure out one twist very early, which was a little disappointing, but not enough to stop me from tearing through it. Like most of his books, this was hard to put down. "

    " This author is uneven to me. Several of his novels I've abandoned halfway through but when he's good he's wicked good. Loved it. The plotting is tighter than Scrooge's chain purse, and all the events seemed probable to me. BEST Coben ever. "

    " I'm a big Harlan Coben fan. I never have to worry about whether or not I'll like one of his books. Caught is one of his typical family mysteries with some of his usual characters, and, like normal, it was good. It wasn't as gripping as some of his have been, but it was still really enjoyable. "

    " Classic Harlan Coben. Really enjoyed it . It has current event elements to the story such as parents allowing their kids and friends to drink in their house and at times got just the slightest bit preachy. Still, I read it in less than a day and enjoyed it greatly. "
