Michelle Weidenbenner has written three books that I know of. I have read them all. Even that delightful children's book about Eloise! Let me tell you--this book is not for the faint of heart. It is a novel about flawed human beings, most of whom were subjected to child abuse while growing up. Have you ever routed for the bad guy? Well I certainly did in this fast moving novel with more twists and turns then I could keep up with. No, I didn't figure out who the vigilante was till almost the end of the book.
I have to admit I had no idea what geocaching was until I read this book--for those like me--it is essentially a treasure hunt. People hide things (coloring books, small items etc) in a box or other object somewhere outside. They then register the site online. Others sign up to go see if they can find it. Then suddenly something began to be found in these "boxes"-------Nope-won't give it away--you will have to go search out the answer by reading this book.
Cache a Predator is a geocaching thriller about a father’s love, justice, and the unhinged game of hide-the-cache.
Officer Brett Reed will do anything to gain custody of his five-year-old daughter, Quinn. But when a judge grants Brett's drug-addicted ex-wife custody and slaps him with a protective order for losing his temper, he fears for Quinn's safety. Who will protect her now?
When Quinn is found abandoned on the streets, she's placed in a temporary foster home until Child Protective Services can complete an assessment. It should only take a few days.
But a lot can happen in a few days.
Especially when there's a deranged psychopath on the loose, someone who's attacking pedophiles, someone who wants to protect children like Quinn, and someone who's planting body parts in geocaching sites.
This book is hidden in cache sites all over the US and Canada with the goal for it to travel to all 50 states. It’s mission is to spread awareness of child abuse and how it harms victims, families, and communities.

I like the title of this book - clever!
My dark side really enjoyed this one, such a gripping tale.
Hi Miki - Thanks for reading all my books! Wow! I love your name. Is it short for something? I've had friends call me Mick and Miki, so I'm curious if you're a "Michelle" too. Thanks for all you do for authors!
They should promote this by actually placing them in cache spots and let people find them (the book)!
This sounds like a good book and an even better giveaway. I can buy so many books for my kindle with that gift card. :)
I always enjoy a good cat/mouse type of book.

I've noticed that mystery books like this one are huge with readers. I think they enjoy the element of surprise.

Oh yeah, this sounds GREAT. I'm gonna put it my wishlist!
I read this book a while back and I loved it. Although it was pretty gruesome.
