Scottoline never fails to entertain. In this novel Christine and her husband, Marcus, are like many couples who are trying to have a baby with no results. When tests are done they find out that the problem is with Marcus. In hopes that they could still have a family they are working with a fertility clinic and plan to try a donor. The donor is chosen by the perspective parents by going online and choosing one from many. The donors are listed with a number and information (physical, family, personality, etc.) along with two pictures - one as an adult and the other as a child. They chose one and now Christine is two months along and wrapping up the school year as a grade-school teacher. The sadness of leaving her job that day is replaced with the happiness of a surprise baby shower. Even Marcus is there.
But then, Christine is shocked by a report on tv that a man has been arrested for the murder of several women. Why is she shocked? She thinks he looks exactly like her donor. Although her best friend and her husband try to convince her that she is wrong, Christine can't let it go. And so she will do whatever is necessary to find out if that man in jail is the biological father of her baby. And that decision may be at the cost of her marriage.
