David Harwood is a small town reporter who believes that the people who plan to build a prison near town are a corrupt group. His opinion isn't popular with the owners of the paper who seem to be selling land to the prison owners. It is no secret that the newspaper is struggling and Harwood is concerned about his future but determined to print the truth. On a typical Saturday, he, his wife and his 4-year-old son go to an amusement park. One of them disappears and Harwood is made to look guilty. It takes everything that he has to sort out the situation and save his family.
Harlan Coben is one of those writers that I can't wait to gobble up everything he writes. "Caught" was well-written and lots of fun. It can be tough to see all of the odds stacked against the protagonist but somehow, Harwood seemed to be strong enough to take it and smart enough to keep his head throughout the ordeal. The most disturbiing part was his wife and her double life that was totally separate from her loving husband.
