From Americaâs Queen of Suspense Mary Higgins Clark, an investigation into the connection between a long-ago murder and a plastic surgeonâs obsession with a perfect face catapults prosecutor Kerry McGrath into the strange and ominous territory of those so hungry for beauty theyâll kill for it.
Itâs a minor accident that brings prosecutor Kerry McGrath to the plastic surgeonâs office with her beloved daughter, Robin. But even as the doctor assures Kerry that her daughterâs scars will heal, she spies a familiar-looking beautiful woman in the waiting room and is seized by an overpowering sense of dĂ©jĂ vu. When, on a return visit, she sees the same haunting faceâon another womanâshe has an intense flash of recognition: itâs the face of Suzanne Reardon, the âSweetheart Murderâ victim, killed more than ten years ago! But for what possible reason would Dr. Smith be giving his patients the face of a dead woman?
As Kerry immerses herself in a fresh investigation, each new piece of evidence she unearths reveals a disturbing cache of questions. Not only does everyone involved want to keep the case closed, but itâs also clear somebody will stop at nothing to keep it sealed forever.
Interweaving fascinating characters with deeply daring, staggeringly unpredictable plot twists, Mary Higgins Clark reminds us that she is, indeed, Americaâs Queen of Suspense.
