âHow do you weigh a childâs privacy against a parentâs right to know?âŚ
âHow do you differentiate normal teenage rebelliousness from out-of-control behavior?âŚ
âWhen and how do you intervene if suicidal signs appear?âŚ
âCoben plucks each of these strings like a virtuoso as Mike and Tia Baye try to deal with the increasing withdrawal of their 16-year-old son, Adam, after a friendâs suicide. A pair of brutal, seemingly senseless killings, punctuate the unfolding domestic troubles that ratchet up the tension and engulf the Baye family, their friends and neighbors in a web of increasing tragedy.
âThe âthis could be meâ factor lends poignancy to the thrills and chills.â âPublishers Weekly (Starred Review)
