Haven - Ani Katz

A summer retreat to an elite island enclave owned by a Big Tech company becomes a mother's worst nightmare in this gripping thriller nAfter months of financial strain and escalating arguments, Caroline is relieved when her husband, Adam, secures a job at Corridor, a prestigious Big Tech company. Though his long hours on top-secret projects often leave Caroline alone with their newborn son, Gabriel, the life-changing income seems worth the sacrifice. n nWhen Adam suggests a summer retreat to Haven, the exclusive island community popular with Corridor employees, Caroline agrees, hoping the sun-soaked paradise will help Adam relax and bring their family closer.

But she can't shake the feeling that something isn't quite right about the town. Though Adam assures her of their safety, the locals' behavior is oddly secretive and ritualistic--even cultish. It's clear that Corridor hasn't resolved tensions about the way the company is transforming the island.

And it doesn't help that Adam's colleagues seem to have a few strange beliefs of their own. n nWhen Caroline wakes to discover that Gabriel is missing, her worst fears are confirmed. Desperate and unsure of whom to trust, she must race to find her son--and pull back the curtain on this elite enclave--before he is lost to the island forever.

n nTensely plotted and terrifyingly prescient, Haven is a taut, darkly compelling exploration of the costs of innovation, the far limits of human progress, and the risks we're willing to take for a brighter future.n
