Tia and Mike Baye make the controversial decision to install spy software on their teenage son's computer after they notice he has become increasingly withdrawn. They discover more about their son than they ever bargained for.
Next door, Lucas Loriman is in desperate need of a kidney transplant. In an effort to find the best matched donor, a shocking secret concerning Lucas' paternity surfaces.
A well-loved teacher makes a terrible mistake by humiliating one of his students in front of her classmates and the effects will be catastrophic.
Chief Investigator Loren Muse is desperate to prove her worth as 'the boss' in the all boys club of the police department. When a mangled body wearing questionable attire is found in a sketchy neighborhood, Muse seeks an alternative answer to the obvious question of what happened, and in doing so faces the ridicule of her subordinates.
A devastating tragedy has triggered Nash's 'crazy' to emerge again. He seeks to squelch his itch under the guise of keeping a promise to the former love of his life.
The lives of each of these characters will join together like the complicated pieces of a jigsaw puzzle in the exciting climax of Harlan Coben's latest novel. I finished reading this book late last night after picking it up at the library last Monday evening. This book was on the 'Rapid Reads' shelf which means I only had seven days to read it! I finished just in time. I love how Coben never fails to keep me on the edge of my seat, and this particular novel made me consider an interesting moral dilemma- what would I do if my child were becoming more and more withdrawn and was spending all his time on the computer? How would I handle it if shortly after his behavior changes, my son's best friend commits suicide? Is it ever okay to spy on your own kids? If you like mysteries/suspense, Harlan Coben is definitely an author you should try!
