Caught” by Harlan Coben


Review #83

Frank Tremont, a world-weary, near-retirement investigator for New Jersey's Essex County, has to face his failure to solve his last case…the disappearance of a teenage girl.

Haley McWaid doesn't come home one night, and when months go by without a word, her parents assume the worst. While trying to cope with her husband's death, reporter Wendy Tynes conducts a sexual predator sting, working with the local police to capture men on camera and later televising the footage.

Her latest suspect is community social worker Dan Mercer, but, those who know him can't believe he's guilty! After a while, Tynes begins to question her instincts, but she continues on with her investigation which reveals a shocking link between a father of one of Mercer's alleged victims and others felled by scandal. This link could make her a killer's next victim

Coben has a knack for taking everyday nightmares and playing with life's endless "what ifs". He gives readers a lot to think about when they are judging reported rights and wrongs.

This book is well worth reading!
