How much do parents really want to know about their kids?<BR><BR> #1 bestselling author Harlan Coben asks that provocative and terrifying question with his fifteenth thriller.<BR><BR> #1 bestselling author Harlan Coben has become an unstoppable force in suspense fiction. His most recent novel, <I>The Woods</I>, spent more time on the <I>New York Times</I> bestseller list than his previous books and sales reached his highest levels to date. His latest page-turner, which is about just how far parents will go to protect their kids, is destined for the top of every bestseller list.<BR><BR> 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 are jolted by a message from an unknown correspondent addressed to their son: “Just stay quiet and all safe.”<BR><BR> Meanwhile, browsing through an online memorial for Spencer put together by his classmates, 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? Tia and Mike Baye never worried that their son, a hockey superstar and solid student, would become one of those sullen teens with “issues.” But after 16-year-old Adam's best friend Spencer Hill commits suicide, he becomes rebellious and secretive, giving them reason to install a sophisticated spy program on his computer. When a message orders their son to “just stay quiet” it sends ripples of fear down their spines. What has Adam gotten himself into? Betsy Hill asks herself the same thing when, searching online, she comes across a picture of her son taken on the night of his death. She's positive she sees Adam Baye in the background. Yet didn't he swear to her and the police that he never saw Spencer that night? When Adam suddenly goes missing, neither of these parents gets the answers they seek. All they know is that something deep and sinister has infected their community and they're quite correct in fearing that what they've experienced so far is only the darkness before the storm…. 3263382 15 4 2008 Hold Tight total:3079|5:667|4:1385|3:846|2:148|1:33| 3079 11742 4161 695 3 4 false false Fri Aug 01 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Tue Jul 15 05:18:41 -0700 2008 Mon Aug 18 07:06:53 -0700 2008 Hold Tight, Mike and Tia Baye experience a chilling couple of days because of a decision to put spyware on their son's computer.
