Publisher Description
Theirs was a marriage made in tabloid heaven, but no sooner had supermodel Laura Ayars and Celtics star David Baskin said “I do” than tragedy struck. While honeymooning on Australia’s Great Barrier Reef, David went out for a swim—and never returned.
Now widowed and grieving, Laura has a thousand questions and no answers. Her search for the truth will draw her into a web of lies and deception that stretches back thirty years—while on the court at the Boston Garden, a rookie phenom makes his spectacular debut….
“The modern master of the hook-and-twist.” —Dan Brown, Author of The Da Vinci Code

" Kept me guessing till the end "
— Jennifer, 5/23/2011 -
" Early in career. Boring, redundent. His later stuff is much better. "
— Connie, 5/22/2011 -
" Schlocky. Too awful to finish. "
— Linda, 5/14/2011 -
" Having read reviews I was prepared to like this less than his other books. That is not the case.<br/>It may not be his best work but I started this morning and finished it today. "
— Linda, 5/14/2011 -
" Loved it! Had a really hard time putting this book down. Lots of unexpected twists and turns that had me re-read the prologue more than once during the course of the story. Not a bad way for Harlan Coben to start his writing career! "
— Dave, 5/9/2011 -
" Good for a first book. Not great if you are used to Coben's more recent books. "
— Kristy, 5/2/2011 -
" Definitely different from his other books, but good. "
— Jane, 5/1/2011 -
" This book was awsome.. In the very beginning of the book he says if you have never read any of his books before to not read this first.. He js right it is not a good book to start out with... I love this author highly reccomened.. "
— Crystal, 5/1/2011 -
" An appalling book. So immature it was a foetus! Awful. Binned it. "
— Tony, 4/30/2011 -
" This was Harlan Coben's first book so I thought I'd take a shot. Don't use this book as an example of his storytelling skills. Read one of his later books when he is in his groove. Coben is one of the best in his genre. Everyone has to start somewhere.. "
— Lynn, 4/29/2011 -
" A decent story, but it tries a bit too hard to be suspenseful in my opinion. "
— Shannan, 4/28/2011 -
" I found my new favorite author! I read this book in less than a week; couldn't put it down. "
— Beth, 4/23/2011 -
" This book was extremely predictable, and in my opinion, overly dramatic and unrealistic. The funny thing is, however, I could not put it down. I have never read another book by Harlan Coben, but I won't let this one be the deciding factor on whether or not I read him again. "
— Alicia, 4/20/2011 -
" I realize that this is the first book he has ever written, but I feel this book is not up to his standards. There were no suprises in this book, you knew exactly what was going to happen. "
— Janice, 4/19/2011
