by HarlanCoben (Author)
Number One bestselling author Harlan Coben has become an unstoppable force in crime fiction. He is already a massive SUNDAY TIMES bestseller and this will take him even further. Tia and Mike Baye never imagined they'd become the type of overprotective parents who spy on their kids. But their sixteen-year-old son Adam has been unusually distant lately, and after the suicide of his classmate Spencer Hill - the latest in a string of issues at school - they can't help but worry. They install a sophisticated spy program on Adam's computer, and within days they are jolted by a message from an unknown correspondent addressed to their son: "Just stay quiet and all safe." Meanwhile, browsing through an online memorial for Spencer, Betsy Hill is struck by a photo that appears to have been taken on the night of her son's death and he wasn't alone. She thinks it is Adam Baye standing just outside the camera's range, but when Adam goes missing, it soon becomes clear that something deep and sinister has infected their community. For Tia and Mike Baye, the question they must answer is this: When it comes to your kids, is it possible to know too much?

Book Overview: 'Harlan Coben is the modern master of the hook-and-twist - luring you in on the first page, only to shock you on the last.' Dan Brown Harlan is at the very top of his game. With both the Myron novels and his stand-alones as massive bestsellers, he combined both in the spectacular PROMISE ME Customer and critical reaction has been fabulous to all Harlan's novels. He is now established as one the thriller genre's biggest stars and a major commercial star. THE INNOCENT took Harlan sales even further forward, outselling its predecessor by 15%. Winner of the Edgar Award, Shamus Award and Anthony Award - Harlan was the first author to win all three.
