I wasn't too sure I wanted to read this after the first couple pages; two married people heading out for a romantic tryst---but they weren't married to each other. But I read a little more, and then I got hooked. Good story, well worth reading.

From back cover: What the author of The War of the Roses did for hate, he now does for love. He's a happily married man. She's a happily married woman with a little boy and a good life. Or so they both believe. There's absolutely no reason why they should ever meet. Until a commercial airliner crashes into the Potomac River. Two of the victims are linked by a clue that at first stuns and baffles, then draws together their surviving spouses.
The explosive discovery leads them on a journey that forces them to confront the mysterious and random nature of love -- and the transforming power it wields over men and women caught in its relentless maelstrom.
