I'll walk alone

View full image by Mary Higgins Clark . With the two-year anniversary of her toddler's disappearance from Central Park approaching, Alexandra "Zan" Moreland maintains hope that Matthew will be found alive. The successful interior designer continues her relentless search as incriminating evidence surfaces, linking her to the abduction. Zan fights seemingly insurmountable odds as the ongoing investigation uncovers more clues pointing to her guilt. Is her sanity slipping, or is she a victim of identity theft? Is Matthew alive? Even Zan begins questioning the facts. Clark's beloved ex-cleaning lady/lottery winning sleuth Alvirah Meehan (a recurring character first introduced in Weep No More My Lady, 2007) is closely entangled in the mystery as she attempts to exonerate Zan. As the plot unfolds, Zan's credibility and the safety of those she holds dear hang precariously in the balance. Verdict Delivering a gripping plot, a likable female lead, and a wonderfully eclectic cast of supporting characters, the Queen of Suspense adds a 30th notch to her fiction belt; suspense devotees will rejoice. --Library journal (Check Catalog)
