Pam Hastings was beautiful, intelligent, and liked by everyone who knew her. She had just turned eighteen and was to start her senior year at Millford High until . . . leaving behind no note to justify her tragic decision, she drove out to Forest Lake and killed herself. The small, affluent community of Millford, Indiana is stunned by her unexplained suicide. A short time later, another high school student drowns during swim class. An accident or suicide? And still another takes his own life. Psychiatrist Robert Steiner is shocked at the loss of three of his son's best friends -- his son who is now living in Israel with his mother. Desperate for answers, the mayor of Millford engages Steiner as a forensic psychiatrist. While attempting to uncover the underlying reasons for the deaths, Robert receives a phone call from an old professor who offers a startling explanation for the deaths. 'A Suicide Club,' Professor Stanley tells his ex-student. 'It only strikes in even numbers. You don't have much time until the next one dies.' Not sure whether he should believe such a bizarre theory, he is afraid of the consequences should he ignore such a possibility. Robert rushes headlong into his search for the obvious connection that ties the members of the Suicide Club together. He only hopes it will be in time to stop its next victim.
