GoodReads Synopsis--They’re one of the country’s most telegenic couples: beloved TV journalist Sara Lowell and New York’s hottest basketball star, Michael Silverman. Their family and social connections tie them to the highest echelons of the political, medical, and sports worlds—threads that will tangle them up in one of the most controversial and deadly issues of our time. In a clinic on Manhattan’s Upper West Side, a doctor has dedicated his life to eradicating a divisive and devastating disease. One by one, his patients are getting well. One by one, they’re being targeted by a serial killer. And now Michael has been diagnosed with the disease. There’s only one cure, but many ways to die...
My Thoughts-- This book was fascinating on several levels. First of all, it's Harlan Coben, so of course it's twisty and mysterious and unpredictable. But also, it's a book about an AIDS clinic from 1991 (Coben's first book ever written). So it's kind of surreal to read about how AIDS was treated and misunderstood and feared not that many years ago. Definitely an interesting read, but not my favorite Coben novel. Don't let this be the first one of his you pick up.
