Here is the basic story line from Booklist:
"Coben, once again, shows a well-constructed, lucky life blown open by fate. Financial analyst Simon Greene and his wife, a pediatrician, are well-off Manhattanites with three children. The chasm in their lives was caused by their 21-year-old daughter, Paige, being seduced into drugs and a vagrant lifestyle by a man 10 years older. Simon discovers Paige panhandling in Central Park one day, tries to talk with her, punches her slimy boyfriend, and is arrested and charged with assault. This starts the suspense spiral of the book, which only grows more tense when the boyfriend is found murdered, and Simon becomes the chief suspect."
Simon is determined to find his daughter, who disappears after this encounter. What he finds instead is a string of murders that all seem to be tied to his daughter, or at least to her drug dealing boyfriend Aaron Corval. There are two additional story lines, one involving a professional assassination team and the second follows a private detective, also looking for a different missing person. To get more detail on all the story lines, see the review from The New York Journal of Books. Intricate plot with two big surprises at the end. Totally engrossing read for those who enjoy thrillers.
More reviews available from Publishers Weekly, Kirkus, and USA Today.
