Shelter: a Mickey Bolitar novel by Harlan Coben. Published by Penguin Group, 2011.
Mickey is not happy that he has to move in with his uncle, but he doesn’t have any other options. His dad died and his mother is in rehab. So, he is moving in with his uncle and starting a new high school. He doesn’t exactly fit in anywhere and things are off to a rocky start. He is gradually developing a few friends (including a hot girl named Ashley) and feeling a tiny bit optimistic.
Then, Ashley disappears. She doesn’t respond to Mickey’s texts and no one seems to know anything about her. Contacting her family goes very badly- her parents act like they don’t even know her and the police are at the house. Further investigation by Mickey brings even more confusing information- everything he knew about her was a lie. Strange people start showing up at Mickey’s house and a bizarre comment from his neighbor has Mickey questioning everything- even his father’s death.
This action-filled mystery has fun, strong characters and will likely be a popular series.
