Description
World War
I Battlefield
nurse Bess
Crawford’s career
is in jeopardy
when a murder is
committed on her
watch, in this
absorbing and
atmospheric
historical mystery
from New York
Times
bestselling author
Charles Todd.
Home
on leave, Bess
Crawford is asked
to accompany a
wounded soldier
confined to a
wheelchair to
Buckingham Palace,
where he’s to be
decorated by the
King. The next
morning when Bess
goes to collect
Wilkins, he has
vanished. Both the
Army and the
nursing service
hold Bess
negligent for
losing the war
hero, and there
will be an
inquiry.
Then comes
disturbing word
from the
Shropshire police,
complicating the
already difficult
situation: Wilkins
has been spotted,
and he’s killed a
man. If Bess is to
save her own
reputation, she
must find Wilkins
and uncover the
truth. But the
elusive soldier
has disappeared
again and even the
Shropshire police
have lost him.
Suddenly, the
moral implications
of what has
happened—that a
patient in her
charge has
committed
murder—become more
important to Bess
than her own
future. She’s
going to solve
this mysterious
puzzle, but
righting an
injustice and
saving her honor
may just cost Bess
her life.
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:
