The Woods

by Harlan Coben

Paul "Cope" Copeland is a county prosecutor trying a difficult rape case.  When the parents of one of the defendants threatens him, the past comes back to haunt him.  Twenty years earlier, his sister was presumed dead after a summer camp.  But now Cope is forced to relive that night and wonders what really happened.

This book was really good.  Shifting between Cope's rape case and the events of the summer camp murder, it was fast paced and kept me wanting to read more.  It sounds like one of the horror movie stories: 20 years ago there was a murder at a summer camp and now strange things are happening to the survivors.  But while Cope is investigating again what really happened to his sister, his current life is also in turmoil.

I look forward to reading another by this author.
