In this collaboration between "Queen of Suspense" Mary Higgins Clark
and bestselling author Alafair Burke, "the snappy pace, layered
characters, and many plot surprises will keep readers guessing in this
fascinating mystery" (Booklist).
Television producer Laurie Moran is delighted when the pilot for her
reality drama, Under Suspicion, is a success. Even more, the
program--a cold case series that revisits unsolved crimes by recreating
them with those affected--is off to a fantastic start when it helps
solve an infamous murder in the very first episode.
Now Laurie has the ideal case to feature in the next episode of Under
Suspicion: the Cinderella Murder. When Susan Dempsey, a beautiful and
multi-talented UCLA student, was found dead, her murder raised numerous
questions. Why was her car parked miles from her body? Had she ever
shown up for the acting audition she was due to attend at the home of an
up-and-coming director? Why does Susan's boyfriend want to avoid
questions about their relationship? Was her disappearance connected to a
controversial church? Was she close to her computer science professor
because of her technological brilliance, or something more? And why was
Susan missing one of her shoes when her body was discovered?
With the help of Under Suspicion host Alex Buckley, Laurie knows the
case will attract great ratings, especially when the former suspects
include Hollywood's elite and tech billionaires. The suspense and drama
are perfect for the silver screen--but is Cinderella's murderer ready
for a close-up?
Together Mary Higgins Clark and Alafair Burke deliver "plenty of
intrigue and excitement" (Publishers Weekly) in this exciting start to
a new series that will keep you guessing until the final page.
