bestselling “Queen of Suspense” comes a thrilling novel about missing
billions, a disgraced financier, and those determined to learn the truth
at any cost…
As the sole assistant to a famous
upscale interior designer, Lane Harmon, mother to five-year-old Katie,
is accustomed to visiting opulent homes around the tri-state area. A
born optimist, Lane finds the glimpse into these gilded worlds
fascinating, and loves the reward of exceeding the expectations of their
often-demanding owners. When she is called to assist in redecorating a
modest townhouse in Bergen County, she knows the job is unusual. Then
she learns the home belongs to the wife of a notorious and disgraced
financier named Parker Bennett.
Parker Bennett has been missing
for two years. He dropped out of sight just before it was discovered
that the $5 billion dollars in the fund he had been managing had
vanished. Bennett had gone out on his sailboat in the Caribbean. Was it
suicide or had he staged his disappearance? The scandal around his name
has not died down. His clients and the federal government all want to
trace the money and find Bennett if he is still alive.
Lane is surprised to find herself
moved by Mrs. Bennett’s calm dignity and apparently sincere belief in
her husband’s innocence. Gradually, Lane finds herself drawn to Mark,
the Bennetts’ son, who is similarly determined to prove that his father
is not guilty. Lane doesn’t know that the closer she gets to the
Bennetts, the more she puts her life―and her daughter’s life―in
jeopardy.
With the hair-raising
storytelling skill that has made her America’s “Queen of Suspense,” Mary
Higgins Clark combines a headline-making financial scandal and a
breathtaking tale of deception and betrayal into one of her finest
novels.
