Missing You by Harlan Coben | Goodreads

Three-fourths of the way through I texted my Coben-reading buddy and asked WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON? Desperate to learn the truth about her dad's death she tries a last ditch effort to get him to open up to her before he dies. When Kat goes to visit Monte Leburne, the dying contract killer who was convicted years ago of shooting her father, another NYPD detective, and the prison nurse puts Leburne into twilight sedation, he denies killing Henry Donovan. Coben’s last thriller, Six Years, was my favorite of 2013 and I just finished his new book, due out this Tuesday, Missing You.In an Upper West Side Manhattan clinic, a doctor- who has dedicated his entire life to eradicating a deadly disease- looks to be on the brink of breakthrough as his patients are getting well one by one; yet one by one, they are being targeted by a serial killer on the loose. With the school year almost over, and kids making the dangerous mistake of drinking and driving as they await their college acceptances letters, Myron is determined to ensure the safety of his friend’s children. The quiet and the possibility of being a mile or so from my nearest neighbor just doesn’t necessarily give me the same warm feeling that an axe to the jugular does.
