PROMISE ME by Harlan Coben

Myron Bolitar overhears two high school senior girls talk about drinking and driving.  He cares for both of these girls:  one is the daughter of his best friends, the other is the daughter of the woman he is now dating.  He's not quite sure how to handle this information so makes a promise to them.  They can call him at anytime day or night, and he will give them a ride and not tell their parents.  Soon, he receives one of these calls from Aimee, the daughter of his best friends.  Myron picks her up in downtown NYC.  But instead of going home, Aimee insists that she be dropped off at a friend's house instead.  Myron reluctantly agrees.  But no friend lives where he left Aimee, and when Aimee turns up missing, Myron finds himself a suspect in her disappearance.  Myron promises Aimee's parents that he will find her.  Myron soon learns that another girl from Aimee's high school disappeared a couple of months earlier, and people assume she ran away.  But Myron wonders if the two events are related.

A good action-packed, mystery and suspense story.
