Mary Higgins Clark
Just take my heart
After famous actress Natalie Raines is found in her home, dying from a gunshot wound, police immediately suspect her theatrical agent and jealous soon-to-be-ex-husband, Gregg Aldrich. But no charges are brought against him until two years later, when a career criminal suddenly claims Aldrich had tried to hire him to kill her. The case is a plum assignment for attractive thirty-two-year-old assistant prosecutor Emily Wallace. She spends long hours preparing for the trial, and unaware of a seemingly well-meaning neighbor’s violent past, gives him a key to her home to care for her dog.

Souviens-toi
Menley et son mari Adam, brillant avocat new-yorkais, se sont installés pour l’été à Cap Cod, la station balnéaire chic, proche de Boston, avec leur petite fille. Une obsession pour eux : surmonter le traumatisme dû à la disparition accidentelle de leur premier bébé. Mais on ne parle à Cap Cod que de la mort d’une richissime jeune femme, et des soupçons de meurtre qui pèsent sur son mari, héritier de sa fortune. Dans le même temps, Menley a l’impression d’être environnée de menaces, dans la splendide demeure ancienne qu’ils ont louée, théâtre, deux siècles plus tôt, d’événements dramatiques… Et nous voici enfermés peu à peu, avec ce couple déjà si douloureusement éprouvé, dans un piège diabolique, comme sait seule les imaginer la romancière de La Nuit du renard (Grand Prix de littérature policière 1980) et de Nous n’irons plus au bois. De ce drame en un milieu hanté, lourd de crimes anciens et de rapines, Mary Higgins Clark, avec l’aide du diable qui aime les bons auteurs, tire un parti étonnant.
The lost years
Under the promise of secrecy, Jonathan attempts to confirm his findings with several other biblical experts. But on the eve before his own murder, he confides to Father Aiden O’Brien, a family friend, that one of those whom he trusted most is determined to keep it from being returned to the Vatican. The next evening Jonathan Lyons is found shot to death in his New Jersey home. His daughter, twenty-seven year old Mariah, finds her father’s body sprawled over his desk in his study, a fatal bullet wound in the back of his neck, and her mother, Kathleen, an Alzheimer’s victim, hiding in the study closet, incoherent and clutching the murder weapon. The police suspect that Kathleen, who in her lucid moments knows that Jonathan was involved with a much younger woman Lily Stewart, has committed the murder.
