Mary Higgins Clark

Queen of Suspense Mary Higgins Clark brings us another New York Times bestselling novel that she "prepares so carefully and executes with such relish" (The New York Times Book Review) about a witness to a murder who finds that what she's seen might make her the next casualty. Mary Higgins Clark sends chills down readers' spines with the story of Lacey Farrell, a rising star on the Manhattan real estate scene. One day, while showing a luxurious skyline co-op, Lacey is witness to a murder--and to the dying words of the victim. The dying woman is convinced that the attacker was after her dead daughter's journal--which Lacey gives to the police, but not before making a copy for herself. It's an impulse that later proves nearly fatal. Placed in the witness protection program and sent to live in the Minneapolis area, Lacey must assume a fake identity, at least until the killer can be brought to trial. There she meets Tom Lynch, a radio talk-show host whom she tentatively begins to date--until the strain of deception makes her break it off. Then she discovers the killer has traced her to Minneapolis. Armed with nothing more than her own courage and clues from the journal, Lacey heads back to New York, determined to uncover who's behind the deaths of the two women--before she's the next casualty. At once seductive and frightening, Pretend You Don't See Her is the "mistress of high tension" (The New Yorker) at her ingenious best.

The legacy of the "Queen of Suspense" continues with the highly anticipated follow-up to Mary Higgins Clark's iconic novel Where Are The Children?, featuring the children of Nancy Harmon, facing peril once again as adults. Of the fifty-six bestsellers the "Queen of Suspense" Mary Higgins Clark published in her lifetime, Where Are the Children? was her biggest, selling millions of copies and forever transforming the genre of suspense fiction. In that story, a young California mother named Nancy Harmon was convicted of murdering her two children. Though released on a technicality, she was abandoned by her husband and became such a pariah in the media that she was forced to move across the country to Cape Cod, change her identity and appearance, and start a new life. Years later her two children from a second marriage, Mike and Melissa, would go missing, and Nancy yet again became the prime suspect--but this time, Nancy was able to confront the secrets buried in her past and rescue her kids from a dangerous predator. Now, more than four decades since readers first met Nancy and her children, comes the thrilling sequel to the groundbreaking book that set the stage for future generations of psychological suspense novels. A lawyer turned successful podcaster, Melissa has recently married a man whose first wife died tragically, leaving him and their young daughter, Riley, behind. While Melissa and her brother, Mike, help their mom, Nancy, relocate from Cape Cod to the equally idyllic Hamptons, Melissa's new stepdaughter goes missing. Drawing on the experience of their own abduction, Melissa and Mike race to find Riley to save her from the trauma they still struggle with--or worse. Just like the original, Where Are the Children Now? keeps you guessing and holding your breath until the very last page.

Når etterforskningsjournalisten Gina Kane mottar en e-post fra en «CRyan», som beskriver henne som en fiasko da hun jobbet for REL, et høyt profilert TV-nyhetsnettverk, og med ordene «og jeg er ikke den eneste», vet hun at hun er nødt til å etterforske saken. Men når det blir stille fra Ryan, får Gina den sjokkerende nyheten om at en ung kvinne nylig døde i en vannskuter-ulykke mens hun var på ferie. Samtidig befinner rådgiver Michael Carter seg i en vanskelig situasjon. Flere kvinnelige ansatte kommer med påstander om seksuell forseelse. Carter henvender seg til CEO og tilbyr seg å overtale ofrene til å godta fordeler i bytte mot deres taushet. Det er et risikabelt forsøk, men det kan også gjøre ham rik. Mens påstandene øker og selskapets børsnotering nærmer seg, kommer Cartes forsøk på å forhindre overskrifter i konflikt med Gina Kanes ønske om å avdekke sannheten. Var Ryans død virkelig et uhell? Og når enda en anklager blir funnet død, innser Gina at en – eller flere – er villige til å strekke seg lenger enn langt for å forhindre at saken ser dagens lys.

An electrifying thriller from #1 New York Times bestselling author and "Queen of Suspense" Mary Higgins Clark When investigative journalist Gina Kane receives an email from a "CRyan" describing her "terrible experience" while working at REL, a high-profile television news network, Gina knows she has to pursue the story. But when Ryan goes silent, Gina is shocked to discover the young woman has died tragically in a jet ski accident while on holiday. Meanwhile, REL counsel Michael Carter finds himself in a tricky spot as several more female employees have come forward with allegations of sexual misconduct. Carter approaches the CEO, offering to persuade the victims to accept settlements in exchange for their silence. It's a risky endeavor, but it could well make him rich. As more allegations emerge, Carter's attempts to keep the story from making headlines are matched only by Gina Kane's determination to uncover the truth. Was Ryan's death truly an accident? And when another accuser turns up dead, Gina realizes someone--or some people--will go to depraved lengths to keep the story from seeing the light.
