When the author inserts a warning in the re-issue that it was an early work, that pretty much says it right there.

3.5 stars. Probably would be a 4 star if it was written by anyone else, but Mr Coben has set a very high bar for himself. Gets a little bogged down in details and actually gets a little confusing. Great job of asking the question “do the ends justify the means”. Very thought provoking.

I ended up realizing that this was a re-read about two chapters into this book, but that is okay because I always enjoy Coben's stories. Michael Silverman is a basketball player married to a famous tv reporter. They end up finding out that he is HIV positive and there's a serial killer targeting the patients of the clinic he is treated in. Turns out that the clinic might have found a cure for AIDS and the murders could be someone trying to cover it up.
