NYPD Detective Kat Donovan's friend thinks she's been single long enough, so Stacy signs Kat up for an online dating service to help her find "the one." Kat does find him. He was "the one" that left her 18 years ago, breaking her heart and their engagement. When she decides to try to connect with him online, he doesn't seem to remember her at first, but then tells her that their past is too painful and they must move on. She reluctantly agrees. When his online profile pops up in a possible kidnapping case, Kat must locate him to find out if he's part of a horrible crime or just a face on the internet.
Another home run for Coben. He takes several different stories and weaves them together for one haunting story. This is definitely a cautionary tale for anyone thinking of using an online dating site. While I was reading this, I thought that Kat Donovan might become a regular Coben character, but now that I finished it, I don't know if she'll continue.
