Mary Higgins Clark
Daddy’s gone A – hunting
What was Kate Connelly—a tall, glamorous CPA—doing in her family’s antique furniture museum when it exploded into flames in the middle of the night? Why was Gus, a disgruntled retired employee, with her? Now Gus is dead, and Kate lies in a coma, unable to explain the tragedy’s mysterious link to a decades-old missing persons case. Nor to warn her sister what could happen next. In a novel of dazzling suspense and excitement, Mary Higgins Clark once again demonstrates the mastery of her craft that has made her books international bestsellers for years. She presents the reader with a perplexing mystery, a puzzling question of identity, and a fascinating cast of characters—one of whom may just be a ruthless killer.

The melody lingers on
As the sole assistant to a famous upscale interior designer, Lane Harmon is accustomed to visiting opulent homes. So her latest job at a modest New Jersey townhouse is unusual. Then she learns the home belongs to the wife of disgraced finance magnate Parker Bennett, who vanished two years earlier, along with the five billion dollar hedge fund he managed. The debate over whether Bennett was suicidal or staged his disappearance still continues. Both his clients and the federal government want to trace the money and find him. But Lane is surprisingly moved by Mrs. Bennett’s steadfast faith in her husband’s innocence. Gradually, Lane is also drawn to the Bennetts’ son, Mark, who is equally determined to prove his father is not guilty. What she doesn’t realize is the closer she gets to the notorious family, the more her life—and that of her five-year-old daughter—is in jeopardy.

Au commencement était le crime
Malice domestic : l’expression désigne le crime maison, celui qui intervient entre frères ou conjoints, amants ou maîtresses. Celui qui viole le sanctuaire familial, laissant le cadavre dans la baignoire ou devant la cheminée…Le premier « crime maison » connu, rappelle ici la romancière de La Nuit du renard et de Recherche jeune femme aimant danser, fut le meurtre d’Abel par Caïn. L’histoire d’Oedipe ou celle de Hamlet s’inscrivent également dans cette longue tradition.
