The New York Times bestselling Under Suspicion series by the
"Queen of Suspense" Mary Higgins Clark and Alafair Burke returns with
this gripping mystery following television producer's Laurie Moran
investigation of the unsolved Met Gala murder--in which a wealthy widow
was pushed to her death from the famous museum's rooftop.
Laurie Moran's professional life is a success--her television show
Under Suspicion is a hit, both in the ratings and its record of
solving cold cases. But her romantic break from former host Alex Buckley
has left her with on-air talent she can't stand--Ryan Nichols--and a
crippling sense of loneliness.
Now Ryan has suggested a new case. Three years ago, Virginia Wakeling, a
member of the Board of Trustees of the Metropolitan Museum of Art and
one of the museum's most generous donors, was found dead in the snow,
after being thrown from the museum's roof on the night of the Met Gala.
The leading suspect then and now is her much younger boyfriend and
personal trainer, Ivan Gray.
Ivan runs a trendy, successful boutique gym called Punch--a business
funded in no small part by the late Virginia--which happens to be the
gym Ryan frequents. Laurie's skepticism about the case is upended by a
tip from her father's NYPD connection, and soon Laurie realizes there
are a bevy of suspects--including Virginia's trusted inner circle.
As the Under Suspicion crew pries into the lives of a super wealthy
real estate family with secrets to hide, danger mounts for several
witnesses--and for Laurie.
