More about the book

In a gripping tale of deception and suspense, Mary Higgins Clark reaffirms her status as "America's Queen of Suspense." The charismatic Nicholas Spencer, head of Gen-stone, a medical research company developing an anticancer vaccine, mysteriously disappears after his private plane crashes en route to Puerto Rico, with no body recovered. Just as the vaccine shows promising results, the FDA denies its approval, and shocking news surfaces: Spencer has embezzled vast sums from Gen-stone, including the life savings of many investors. Marcia "Carley" DeCarlo, a thirty-two-year-old columnist for Wall Street Weekly, is assigned to cover the unfolding scandal. She is the stepsister of Spencer's wife, Lynn, a PR executive and socialite whom Carley distrusts. Following the news of Spencer's disappearance, Lynn attends a stockholder meeting, displaying indifference to the anger of devastated investors, including a father whose child has cancer. That night, her mansion is set ablaze, and she narrowly escapes death. Desperate, she turns to Carley, asking her to investigate and clear her name. As Carley delves deeper, she faces daunting questions: Is Nicholas dead or hiding? Was he guilty or framed? Why did the medical community's opinion on the vaccine shift so dramatically? As she uncovers the truth, Carley becomes a target of a dangerous group involved in a sinister scheme, leading to a thrilling narrative filled with unexpected twists
