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.

At age eighty-two and in failing health, Olivia Morrow knows she has little time left. The last of her line, she faces a momentous choice: expose a long-held family secret, or take it with her to her grave. Olivia has in her possession letters from her deceased cousin Catherine, a nun, now being considered for beatification by the Catholic Church—the final step before sainthood. In her lifetime, Sister Catherine had founded seven hospitals for disabled children. Now the cure of a four-year-old boy dying of brain cancer is being attributed to her. After his case was pronounced medically hopeless, the boy’s desperate mother had organized a prayer crusade to Sister Catherine, leading to his miraculous recovery.

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.
