PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Bestseller Coben (Hold Tight) has a knack for taking everyday nightmares and playing with life s endless what ifs, as shown in this stand-alone thriller, a tightly choreographed dance of guilt and innocence, forgiveness and retribution. 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. Meanwhile, 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. If the wealth of characters dilutes the suspense, Coben gives readers lots to think about when judging rights and wrongs. 500,000 first printing; 12-city author tour.
