Description
The extraordinary new novel from Queen of Suspense Mary Higgins Clark & Alafair Burke Falsely accused victim? Or cold-blooded killer? Casey Carter was convicted of murdering her fiance fifteen years ago. But Casey claims - has always claimed - she's innocent. And although she was charged and served out her sentence in prison, she is still living 'under suspicion'. She hears whispers at the grocery store. She can't get a job. Even her own mother treats her like she's guilty. Her story attracts the attention of Laurie Moran and the Under Suspicion news team - it's Casey's last chance to finally clear her name, and Laurie pledges to exonerate her. Now Laurie must face an egomaniacal new co-host, a relentless gossip columnist who seems to have all the dirt and Casey's longstanding bad reputation to once and for all prove Casey's innocence -that is, if she's innocent... The Sleeping Beauty Killer is another riveting page-turner from the Queen of Suspense Mary Higgins Clark and her dazzling partner-in-crime, Alafair Burke. *** Praise for Mary Higgins Clark & Alafair Burke *** 'I adore Mary Higgins Clark' Karin Slaughter 'Teeming with tantalizing twists, Clark's crackling tale of identity theft, revenge, and murder is a tempting and thought-provoking thriller' Booklist 'Trust Mary Higgins Clark to know what frightens us to death' New York Times 'Clark plays out her story like the pro that she is . . . flawless' Daily Mirror 'Should come with a warning: start in the evening and you'll be reading late into the night' USA Today
