Tia and Mike Baye never imagined they'd become the type of overprotective parents who spy on their kids. But their sixteen-year-old son Adam has been unusually distant lately, and after the suicide of his classmate Spencer Hill -- the latest in a string of issues at school -- they can't help but worry. They install a sophisticated spy program on Adam's computer, and within days they are jolted by a message from an unknown correspondent addressed to their son: "Just stay quiet and all safe."

Work Description
“A page-turner. Don’t start reading it if you’ve got important business the next morning becauseHold Tight will keep you up all night.”
— San Francisco Chronicle
“A fast and exhilarating roller-coaster ride that you don’t want to end, but hold on tight. Then take the time to hug your kids.”
—Library Journal (Starred Review)
“COMPULSIVE PAGE-TURNER…
“How do you weigh a child’s privacy against a parent’s right to know?…
“How do you differentiate normal teenage rebelliousness from out-of-control behavior?…
“When and how do you intervene if suicidal signs appear?…
“Coben 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 friend’s 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.
“The ‘this could be me’ factor lends poignancy to the thrills and chills.” —Publishers Weekly (Starred Review)
