Description

Investigative reporter Pat Traymore returns to Washington with a dual mission: to uncover the truth about ambitious Senator Abigail Jennings, a frontrunner for Vice-President, and to confront the traumatic memories of her parents' violent deaths years earlier. As Pat settles into the house where the tragedy occurred, she discovers that someone is determined to stop her investigation—forcing her to question everyone around her, including the charming Congressman Samuel Kingsley with whom she's falling in love. Haunted by her past and threatened by mysterious forces in the present, Pat begins to unravel a dangerous web of secrets that connects her childhood trauma to the powerful figures surrounding her now. In this gripping thriller, Mary Higgins Clark masterfully weaves together suspense, psychological tension, and emotional depth as Pat races to expose the truth before it's too late. With each revelation, the line between past and present blurs, and Pat realizes that the answers she seeks may come at a devastating cost.
