Six Years / Harlan Coben, 351 p.

Coben offers up another page turner.  Professor Jake Fisher is just going through the motions of living, after having  abruptly lost the love of his life to another man six years before.  Everything changes when he happens upon the other man's obituary.  Hoping to get a glimpse of his former girlfriend, he impulsively attends the man's funeral, only to discover another family and no sign of Natalie.  As Jake tries to find out what happens to Natalie, he encounters one threat after another, each of which leads down a an intricate trail of lies and denial.  Just as the story grows seemingly more implausible, the page turns and Jake begins to make sense of the situation - only to find himself fighting for his own life as he gets closer to the truth.  A great read!
