It's June 1978, and David Slaney can be sure of only one thing. He can't get caught. Not this time.

Shortlisted for Scotiabank Giller Prize 2013.

"The heady zest of freedom pervades this novel. Fresh out of jail, Slaney sees the world with pin-bright clarity. As the plot tightens like a pair of pincers, Lisa Moore's prose is worth lingering over." -- Janet Davey "In the creation of David Slaney, Lisa Moore brings us an unforgettable character, embodying the exuberance and energy of misspent youth. Caught is a propulsive and harrowing read." -- Patrick DeWitt, author of The Sisters Brothers "Precise, compressed, intimately rhythmic, mesmerizingly smart" Globe and Mail "Caught is a literary adventure story, which is to say it is both action-packed while being an investigation into character and motive. An outstanding novel, combining the complexity of the best literary fiction with the page-turning compulsive readability of a thriller." National Post "As trippy, mellow, and revelatory as Hearn's weed, Caught takes pleasure from rewriting crime formulas and gives pleasure in doing so." The Vancouver Sun
