From Product Description:
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.
Praise for Long Lost:
"Coben is one of the best authors around at writing page-turning suspense, as Long Lost makes clear."
-Chicago Sun-Times
"Roller-coaster plot and savvy dialogue...All the ingredients of a good old- fashioned thriller: murder, action and wit."
-New York Daily News
Dan Mercer stands accused of being a sexual predator thanks to the ambush journalism of Wendy Tynes, a tabloid TV reporter, who must cope with her husband's death caused by a drunken driver as well as reckon with the possibility of Mercer's innocence. When Tynes finds a link between a father of one of Mercer's alleged victims and others felled by scandal, she could become a killer's next victim.

The Best
The richness of his characters and the twists of his plots in addition to just great writing and storytelling has Coben my favorite contemporary writer. I think Myron Bolitar is one of the great continuing characters of current fiction but Coben's other books are even better. "Write on and don't sell your name to lessor talents!!!!
Another great mystery from Coben
I'm a big fan of Harlan Coben's. I like his stories and his writing style. His latest effort is Caught, which is a stand-alone mystery. At first, you'll wonder how the different storylines connect, but when they connect, you won't be disappointed. <br /> <br />A mother wakes up one morning to find that her daughter, who she has never had trouble from, is missing. A TV reporter who has made a career of entrapping sexual predators and shaming them on national television finds herself wondering about the guilt of her latest target. <br /> <br />As with most of Coben's books, he never takes the apparent choice in his books. In Caught, just when you think you see where the stories are going, something gets thrown in the mix that changes your views. <br /> <br />What could have been a book about sexual predators turns into something much more--an examination of the cost of holding grudges and modern parenting. <br /> <br />Tell No One is still my favorite Coben book, but Caught ranks up near the top. <br />
