From the Civil War–era south to 1950s New York to the present day's gritty cities and seemingly innocuous suburbs, the stories in this anthology edited by the award-winning mystery writer Harlan Coben chart the complications—always surprising, sometimes deadly—that arise between lovers, dear friends, and even complete strangers coming together for a single, shocking encounter.

"Queeny" by Ridley Pearson...A woman attracts the attention of a man while running in the park and tells her husband abut it. The wife soon disappears.

"Safe Enough", by Lee Child...A blue-collar city boy takes up with a wealthy suburban wife, with dire consequences.

"The Home Front" by Charles Ardai...Recounts the travails of a WWII-era federal agent whose role in the accidental death of a black marketer haunts him and leads to further disaster.

"The Last Flight" by Brendan DuBois...A man books a joy flight in the type of plane he flew in the war over the ocean to scatter his wife's ashes and obtain closure.

"Part Light, Part Memory" by Bonnie Hearn Hill...An African slave girl's story of her thirst for vengeance when her father was hung for looking at the American master's wife.

"Blarney" by Steve Hockensmith...The tale of a few drinks at the pub by a group of writers after a conference where they run into one of the only non boring speakers. This old Irishman offers to teach them what it is to be a writer if they buy him a pint.

"Heat Lightning" by William Krueger...The story of a man who is having an affair while his wife lies in a coma in the bedroom upstairs.

"Till Death Do Us Part" by Tim Maleeny...A great tale about the sixtieth anniversary of a feud between an old couple who do not believe in divorce.

"The Cold, Hard Truth" by Rick McMahon...The tale of a rural police office recounting the story of how he first met death row prisoner Jesse Brashear and the cold hard truth that good people can do bad things.

"One Shot", by P.J. Parrish...A man returns to his childhood home to learn the truth about a long-ago tragedy.

"Cyberdatedotcom" by Tom Savage...A chat room transcript from a dating website where two under aged kids take a liking to each other.

"Homecoming" by Charles Todd...A woman discovers an intruder in her house, however even though she knows he's there can never seem to find him so wonders if stress is making her go insane.

"The Masseuse" by Tim Wohlforth...The story of a man whose dream comes true when his masseuse offers to cook and pleasure him in exchange for food and board and a bit of spending money while she studies for a new career.

"A Few Small Repairs" by Jeff Abbott...A hospital ridden father is dying a slow painful death and asks his son that he had disowned to help him end his life.

"Chellini's Solution" by Jim Fusilli...An Italian man whose enemies gloat as they tell him his wife is cheating on him and of course the actions he takes afterwards.

"One True Love", by Laura Lippman...A high-end prostitute seeks a radical solution to a public relations problem.

"Wifey" by R.L. Stine...Getting away with murder, perhaps...

"Pushed or Was Fell" by Jay Brandon...Walt, a loner meets a girl, quickly marrys and sets out on cruise ship honeymoon soon to learn he doesn't love her...with devastating consequences.
