On the Street where You Live

More about the book

A popular guest in the town's finest homes, he relished the somber discussions about Martha's disappearance that occasionally surfaced at dinner. 'I could tell you about it, every little detail,' he mused with a self-satisfied smile while strolling the boardwalk, greeting friends along the way. 'But of course I won't. That's our secret: mine and Martha's.' In this gripping novel from the Queen of Suspense, a young woman grapples with two murders linked by over a century. After a painful divorce and being stalked, criminal defense attorney Emily Graham accepts a position at a major Manhattan law firm. Seeking stability, she buys her ancestral home, a restored Victorian in Spring Lake, New Jersey. Her family had sold the house in 1892 after the mysterious disappearance of her ancestor, Madeline Shapley. While renovating, workers discover the skeleton of Martha Lawrence, who vanished four years prior. Clutched in her hand is the finger bone of another woman, adorned with a Shapley family heirloom ring. As Emily investigates the connection between her family's history and the recent murder, she unwittingly becomes a target for a cunning and seductive killer, who has marked her as the next victim.
