An electrifying thriller from #1 New York Times bestselling author and âQueen of Suspenseâ Mary Higgins Clark!
When investigative journalist Gina Kane receives an email from a âCRyanâ describing her âterrible experienceâ while working at REL, a high-profile television news network, Gina knows she has to pursue the story. But when Ryan goes silent, Gina is shocked to discover the young woman has died tragically in a jet ski accident while on holiday.
Meanwhile, REL counsel Michael Carter finds himself in a tricky spot as several more female employees have come forward with allegations of sexual misconduct. Carter approaches the CEO, offering to persuade the victims to accept settlements in exchange for their silence. Itâs a risky endeavor, but it could well make him rich.
As more allegations emerge, Carterâs attempts to keep the story from making headlines are matched only by Gina Kaneâs determination to uncover the truth. Was Ryanâs death truly an accident? And when another accuser turns up dead, Gina realizes someoneâor some peopleâwill go to depraved lengths to keep the story from seeing the light.
âClarkâs usual mixture now updated, with surprising and welcome assurance, for a new generation of imperiled womenâ (Kirkus Reviews).
