Seventeen-year-old Haley McWaid is a good girl, the pride of her suburban New Jersey family, 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 bring down sexual predators via elaborate—and nationally televised—sting operations. Wendy and her team have 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. Caught tells the story of a missing girl, 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.

An ordinary snapshot causes a mother?s world to unravel in an instant. After picking up her two young children from school, Grace Lawson looks through a newly developed set of photographs. She finds an odd one in the pack: a mysterious picture from perhaps twenty years ago, showing four strangers she can?t identify. But there is one face she recognizes - that of her husband, from before she knew him. When her husband sees the photo that night, he leaves their home and drives off without explanation. She doesn?t know where he?s going, or why he?s leaving. Or if he?s ever coming back. Nor does she realize how dangerous the search for him will be. Because there are others interested in both her husband?s past and that photo, including Eric Wu: a fierce, silent killer who will not be stopped from finding his quarry, no matter who or what stands in his way. Her world turned upside-down, filled with doubts about her herself and marriage, Grace must confront the dark corners of her own tragic past she struggles to learn the truth, find her husband, and save her family.

That is, until he meets Brenda Slaughter, one of the hottest female sports stars around. She's gorgeous, funny and single, and also seems to have mislaid her agent. But when her father disappears, and the Mob starts leaning on her, it soon becomes apparent that potent forces are at work and Myron is quickly plunged into a whirlpool of deceit and death.

Dark secrets and painful memories resurface in this thriller by bestselling author Harlan Coben. When Grace Lawson picks up a recently developed set of photographs, she is surprised to find a photo of her husband from 20 years ago in the set. But that is nothing to her husband's reaction when he sees the photo: he promptly vanishes. As Grace embarks upon an increasingly dangerous search for her husband, she is also forced to confront a traumatic event from her own past--a riot at a rock concert that left her with a limp.

Both a white-knuckle thriller and a story about the loyalty of old friends and the love of a father, this is a masterpiece from a bestselling author ("Tell No One, Gone for Good") w

An omnibus consisting of the first three novels in the award-winning Myron Bolitar series. Myron's career as a pro-basketball player is cruelly cut short when he suffer a vicious knee injury. And, after a period of rehabilitation, he decides to turn his hand to Sports Agenting - a la Jerry Maguire. But it's a vicious, cutthroat business and full of dangerous sharks who would like nothing more than to take a bit out of our fledgling hero. Combining a wry wit with some moments of surprising darkness, these novels contain all the elements of the very best of modern crime writing, and while slightly different to Harlan's stand-alone novel, will be lapped by all his new readers.

Hired to protect a women's basketball star after she receives threats on her life, Bolitar doesn't take the case seriously until he begins to fall for her. As he learns more about her tragic past, he also comes to realize that he must act quickly to save not only her, but himself as well.
