What this book is about
Wendy Tynes is a TV reporter who runs an operation to catch men who solicit what they believe are underage victims online. When her latest story results in the apparent suicide of the exposed man and his family's devastation — and connects to a teenage girl who has gone missing — Wendy must question everything she assumed about justice, culpability, and who deserves to be destroyed. Harlan Coben's reliable thriller delivers his signature twisty plotting and fast pace.
