Haley McWaid's mother wakes one morning to find that Haley never came home the night before, and after three months without a word from the girl, the community assumes the worst. Wendy Tynes is a reporter, a skanky journalist in my opinion, who brings down sexual predators via elaborate-and nationally televised-sting operations. She ambush's Dan Mercer, a social worker who works with troubled teens. He becomes her latest sting operation and is then accused of being a sexual predator and the prime suspect in Haley's disappearance.
This is an excellent book. I loved it and finished it in two and a half days. I couldn't put it down. It's the type of writing that hooks you from the very first paragraph and doesn't stop until the last.
Harlen Coben is one of my favorite writers now, and I owe it to a dear friend of mine who got me started on his books. The first being "The Woods", another great book . I couldn't put that one down either.

Raymond Khoury - The Sanctuary
The Sancuary - I have to say that I didn't care for this book too much. By far it was the hardest book to get in to and took me extra long to read. By the last few chapters it picked up though. I just wasn't that in to it.
Anyway, this outing by Khoury is about an archaeologist, Evelyn Bishop, and her geneticist daughter, Mia, who becomes caught-up in a deadly conspiracy that involves an ancient symbol - a ringlike, circular snake feeding on its own tail. A (mad) scientist known as the hakeem who performs experiments on men, women, and children is believed to be working on a bioweapon. Of course, he has disappeared and the CIA is trying to find him. Evelyn just happens to walk right into the middle of this conspiracy and gets kidnapped. Mia sets out to find her mother with the help of a CIA agent before Evelyn becomes the next guinea pig. This is set in the Middle East and the hakeem reminded me of the Nazi physician Josepf Mengele, maybe that's why I didn't care for it. It's up to you to decide whether or not you like it. Comments are welcome.
