The Second Time Around: A Novel

Description

The "Queen of Suspense," Mary Higgins Clark, delivers a gripping tale of deception and tantalizing twists that might have been ripped from today s headlines.

When Nicholas Spencer, the charismatic head of a company that has developed an anticancer vaccine, disappears without a trace, reporter Marcia "Carley" DeCarlo is assigned the story. Word that Spencer, if alive, has made off with huge sums of money -- including the life savings of many employees -- doesn t do much to change Carley s already low opinion of Spencer s wife, Lynn, who is also Carley s stepsister and whom everyone believes is involved. But when Lynn s life is threatened, she asks Carley to help her prove that she wasn t her husband s accomplice. As the facts unfold, however, Carley herself becomes the target of a dangerous, sinister group that will stop at nothing to get what they want.
