TELL ME MORE: Best-selling author Harlan Coben is back with "Hold Tight," a new thriller (in stores Tuesday) that highlights the issue of child privacy, focusing on a Livingston couple who install spy software on their home computer to follow their teen son's Internet activities.
A Ridgewood resident, Coben recently wrote an opinion piece for the New York Times on walking the fine line between keeping your children safe and invading their privacy. Coben says the topic has been on his mind because he has four young kids of his own.
Coben will be at Bookends in Ridgewood to sign the book — and share tales of parental espionage.
EXCERPT: "We have the right to invade his privacy?"
"To protect him? Yes. He's our son."
Mike shook his head.
"We not only have the right," Tia said, stepping closer to him. "We have the responsibility."
