"Connections and Why They Matter"
Most of what happens in our life will spark a connection. Life connects with what has been found in books. Books connect with what happens in life. Use the connections to help you see more clearly. A love of reading and writing is what motivated the creation of this blog. Thank you for coming to the blog.
The novel starts out: “Kat Donovan spun off her father’s old stool, readying to leave O’Malley’s Pub, when Stacy said, “You’re not going to like what I did.”
Kat Donovan is a cop, just like her dad was. Feeling alone she looks through a on line dating site and comes across the face of Jeff Raynes an old flame from years back. She drops him a note but he at first doesn’t seem to remember her. With a hint he comes out of his shell and warms up but then backs away saying he doesn’t want to connect again.
Before long Brandon Phelps, a college student from Connecticut, comes all the way to New York to ask for Kat’s help in finding his missing mother, Dana, but he won’t tell her why he even thinks she can help.
This all overlaps Kat’s interest in Monte Leburne who years ago was convicted of killing her dad who at the time was a NYPD detective.
These three very different stories Harlan Cobern weaves together with twists and unexpected turns into a plot that leaves you not seeing what is coming until the very end. No surprise for this author.
