Hold Tight

Hold Tight by Harlan Coben is a gripping tale that delves into the lives of Tia and Mike Baye, parents who never imagined they would become the type to spy on their children. Their sixteen-year-old son, Adam, has grown unusually distant, and following the suicide of his classmate, Spencer, their concern reaches new heights.

In an effort to protect their son, Tia and Mike install a sophisticated spy program on Adam's computer. Within days, they are shocked by a message from an unknown sender addressed to Adam: "Just stay quiet and all safe."

Meanwhile, as Betsy Hill browses through an online memorial for Spencer, she is struck by a photo taken the night of her son's death. It suggests that Spencer was not alone. She suspects it might be Adam Baye standing just outside the camera's range. When Adam goes missing, it becomes clear that something deep and sinister has taken root in their community.
