Publisher's
Description
A
provocative and
hauntingly
powerful debut
novel reminiscent
of Sliding
Doors, The
Bookseller follows
a woman in the
1960s who must
reconcile her
reality with the
tantalizing
alternate world of
her dreams.
Nothing
is as permanent
as it appears .
. .
Denver,
1962: Kitty Miller
has come to terms
with her
unconventional
single life. She
loves the bookshop
she runs with her
best friend,
Frieda, and enjoys
complete control
over her
day-to-day
existence. She can
come and go as she
pleases, answering
to no one. There
was a man once, a
doctor named
Kevin, but it
didn’t quite work
out the way Kitty
had hoped.
Then the
dreams begin.
Denver,
1963: Katharyn
Andersson is
married to Lars,
the love of her
life. They have
beautiful
children, an
elegant home, and
good friends. It’s
everything Kitty
Miller once
believed she
wanted—but it only
exists when she
sleeps.
Convinced
that these dreams
are simply due to
her overactive
imagination, Kitty
enjoys her
nighttime forays
into this
alternate world.
But with each
visit, the more
irresistibly real
Katharyn’s life
becomes. Can she
choose which life
she wants? If so,
what is the cost
of staying Kitty,
or becoming
Katharyn?
As the
lines between her
worlds begin to
blur, Kitty must
figure out what is
real and what is
imagined. And how
do we know where
that boundary lies
in our own lives?
In a
first-time
collaboration,
“Queen of Suspense”
Mary Higgins Clark
partners with
bestselling author
Alafair Burke to
deliver a brand new
suspense series
about a television
program featuring
cold case murders.
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
that was active on
campus? 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
lawyer and 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 an exciting
publishing event:
the start of a
thrilling new series
guaranteed to keep
you guessing until
the last suspenseful
page. - See more at:
