What's the Name of That Book??? discussion

Plot: woman goes on vacation to meet her blind date who ends up abducting her and stealing her identity. Her son realizes the texts she’s sending aren’t really coming from her. He searches the picture of the man his mom is supposed to be meeting. It turns out that he is an FBI agent and catfishers used his picture to lure women on the picture on the dating site.

The woman/ mom who was abducted is held captive in a box in the ground and they bring her out every few days to get her passwords for her accounts and gain other information to get more money from her and keep her family beliving that she is fine but choosing not to return home.

This is huge scam they have quite a few others in boxes in the ground at the same time.

Story ends with the big house on fire.. I think the book name has Fire or Pines in the title.. I've searched so many and I can't remember or find it! Any ideas!?

Missing You by Harlan Coben.

Unfortunately that not it! Thank you though!

Are you sure? I read it and it has those plot details.

From my review:

"An evil mastermind named Titus has been stealing inactive online profiles from Facebook (and most likely Goodreads) and using them to bait lovelorn women and men with large-ish bank accounts. When the lonely losers respond to Titus's ads, with fake photos like Jeff's, he ropes them in and they agree to go on romantic vacations with these online profiles. Once these desperate fogies are in the limos "headed" to their "vacation destinations," Titus kidnaps them and brings them to Pennsylvania Amish country where he rips off their clothing, hoses them down, and stuffs them in underground boxes to make them compliant. He brings them out of the boxes to get their bank account numbers and passwords. They turn over hundreds of thousands of dollars, which Titus deposits in Swiss accounts.

Dana Phelps is a wealthy Greenwich widow who finds "Jeff" online and is kidnapped by Titus. Dana's teenage son Brandon quickly realizes something doesn't seem right. He goes to the Greenwich PD but they won't investigate, so he hacks into the dating site and discovers that Kat has responded to "Jeff" too. He goes to Manhattan and asks Kat to investigate his mother's disappearance."

At the climax the abducted mother runs around and frees all the people buried underground in boxes, as people are shooting at her in the woods. There was probably a fire at the end.
