In Death Match, Lincoln Child takes a cursory glance at the world of electronic matchmaking, and takes it to its natural technological conclusion - for a substantial sum of money, the computer will locate a 'perfect match' for anyone.

Every once in a rare while, the most perfect of 'perfect' matches ('supercouples, of 100% compatibility), is located.

Then tragedy suddenly strikes. One of the "supercouples" is found dead in their Arizona home, an "unquestionable" double suicide.

Child's analysis of the topic proves a useful tool to opine on the topics of psychology, relationships, and cutting-edge computer tehnology and artificial intelligence.
