You don’t own me

I’ll walk alone
Two years after the day that her son, Matthew, was kidnapped in broad daylight in Central Park, Alexandra Moreland still finds herself torn between hope and despair. As no trace of Matthew was ever found, she has never been able to give him up for dead. But now, on what would have been Matthew’s fifth birthday, photos surface that seem to show Alexandra kidnapping her own child. Then, as her bank accounts are suddenly drained, and her reputation as a successful architect comes under immense pressure, Alexandra begins to suspect that someone is using her credit cards to steal her identity. But who would want to ruin her so completely? Hounded by the press, under investigation by the police, attacked by both her angry ex-husband and a vindictive business rival, Alexandra, sustained only by her belief that Matthew is still alive, sets out to discover who is behind this cruel hoax. Little does she realize that with every step she takes toward the truth, she is putting herself -and those she loves most – in mortal danger.
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.

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.
