In her latest novel Mary Higgins Clark, the beloved,
bestselling “Queen of Suspense,” exposes a dark secret from a family’s past
that threatens the lives of two sisters, Kate and Hannah Connelly, when the
family-owned furniture firm in Long Island City, founded by their grandfather
and famous for its fine reproductions of antiques, explodes into flames in the
middle of the night, leveling the buildings to the ground, including the museum
where priceless antiques have been on permanent display for years.
The ashes reveal a startling and grisly discovery, and
provoke a host of suspicions and questions. Was the explosion deliberately set?
What was Kate—tall, gorgeous, blond, a CPA for one of the biggest accounting
firms in the country, and sister of a rising fashion designer—doing in the
museum when it burst into flames? Why was Gus, a retired and disgruntled
craftsman, with her at that time of night? What if someone isn’t who
he claims to be?
Now Gus is dead, and Kate lies in the hospital badly injured
and in a coma, so neither can tell what drew them there, or what the tragedy
may have to do with the hunt for a young woman missing for many years, nor can
they warn that somebody may be covering his tracks, willing to kill to save
himself . . .
Step by step, in a novel of dazzling suspense and
excitement, Mary Higgins Clark once again demonstrates the mastery of her craft
that has made her books international bestsellers for years. She presents the
reader with a perplexing mystery, a puzzling question of identity, and a
fascinating cast of characters—one of whom may just be a ruthless killer . . .
