Hvor lenge har sannheten ligget skjult? Dr. Jonathan Lyons, en velansett akademiker, opplever et lykketreff da han får et tidligere savnet oldtidsminne - et svært verdifullt pergamentmanuskript - i fanget. Manuskriptet ble stjålet fra Vatikanet på fjortenhundretallet, og siden har man antatt at det har vært tapt for alltid - helt til nå. Dr. Lyons er usikker på sitt neste trekk og innvier noen få andre i sin oppdagelse, men med så mye penger på spill, kan han egentlig stole på dem han har fortalt det til? Situasjonen utarter når Jonathan blir funnet brutalt myrdet i sitt eget hjem. Så, etter hvert som hemmelighetene i privatlivet hans ser dagens lys, blir konen hans, som lider av Alzheimers, mistenkt for mordet. Nå er det opp til parets 27 år gamle datter, Maria, å avdekke sannheten bak farens død. Men det innfløkte vevet av hemmeligheter har spredt seg mye lenger enn hun aner. Nå som noen er fast bestemt på å få tak i det uerstattelige dokumentet, vil Mariah lykkes i å finne rettferdighet både for faren og moren, uten å sette sitt eget liv i fare?"Hele verdens spenningsdronning" Booklist"Clark fortjener honnør for sin intuitive beherskelse av hvordan hverdagsangsten kan utvikles til regelrett skrekk."

Queen of Suspense and #1 New York Times bestselling writer Mary Higgins Clark brilliantly weaves the mystery of twin telepathy into a mother's search for a kidnapped child, presumed dead in this "riveting…suspense thriller [that] is certain to send terror into the heart of any parent" (Publishers Weekly).Hours after throwing a third birthday party for their twins Kathy and Kelly in their Connecticut home, Margaret and Steve Frawley return home from a dinner in New York to discover the police in the house, their daughters missing, and an eight million dollar ransom note. The Frawleys meet the kidnapper's demands, but the abandoned car they're led to contains only Kelly, the body of the driver, and a suicide note, saying he had inadvertently killed Kathy and dumped her body in the ocean. At the private memorial Mass for Kathy, Kelly tugs Margaret's arm and says that her sister Kathy "wants to come home right now." More unexplainable occurrences indicate that Kelly is in touch with Kathy, but no one except Margaret believes that Kathy is still alive. As Kelly's warnings become increasingly specific and alarming, however, FBI agents set out on a search for the kidnappers as Kathy's life hangs by a thread. Delving into the well-documented but still unexplained phenomenon of twin telepathy, worldwide #1 bestseller Mary Higgins Clark takes us deep into the minds of her characters while lifting us to the heights of suspense.
