Caught
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.

Harlan Coben
Few writers can turn the ordinary into the ominous quite like Harlan Coben. His thrillers don’t just keep readers turning pages—they drag them headfirst into a world where secrets refuse to stay buried, and the past is never as distant as it seems. Whether unraveling a decades-old mystery or exposing the dark undercurrents of suburban life, Coben has a knack for making the familiar suddenly feel dangerous.
Born and raised in New Jersey, Coben found early inspiration in the seemingly quiet neighborhoods around him. Behind those manicured lawns and white picket fences, he sensed the potential for chaos—a theme that would become a hallmark of his work. He didn’t set out to be a writer, though. It wasn’t until his senior year at Amherst College, where he majored in political science, that the urge to tell stories took hold. Once it did, there was no turning back.
