Publisher Description
Now in mass market, Mary Higgins Clark’s thirtieth and most spine-chilling novel—“so good that it might as well have come with a soundtrack” (The Columbus Dispatch)—involves the newest and most up-to-date of crimes: identity theft.
Alexandra “Zan” Moreland, a gifted, beautiful interior designer on the verge of a successful Manhattan career, is terrified to discover that somebody is not only using her credit cards, but may also be impersonating her in a scheme that involves the much more brutal crimes of kidnapping and murder. Already haunted by the disappearance of her own son, Matthew, kidnapped in broad daylight two years ago in Central Park, Zan has been left torn between hope and despair. Now, on what would be Matthew's fifth birthday, photos surface that seem to show Zan kidnapping her own child, followed by a chain of events that suggests somebody has stolen her identity.
Hounded by the press, under investigation by the police, attacked by both her angry ex-husband and a vindictive business rival, Zan, wracked by fear and pain and sustained only by her belief that Matthew is still alive, sets out to discover who is behind this cruel hoax. What she does not realize is that with every step she takes toward the truth, she is putting herself—and those she loves most—in mortal danger from the person who has ingeniously plotted out her destruction.

"Another enjoyable mystery by Mary Higgins Clark. Knowing that she always has a twist ending I was looking for and trying to figure out who the villian was. I knew it wasn't the obvious one but never did figure it out and was as surprised as Zan was find out it was ...... No, I'm not a spoiler! "

" The villian and his motive were rather far-fetched, and this novel did way too much telling and not enough showing. All of the characters constantly explained themselves TO themselves. "
— Susan, 5/24/2011 -
" Typical Mary Higgins Clark, page turner, quick read, entertaining. I enjoyed it. "
— Barbara, 5/23/2011 -
" I didn't like this one quite as much as most of her books. The main character got on my nerves, so I'm sure that was part if the problem. Other than that, it was a pretty good book. "
— Tiana, 5/22/2011 -
" One of my favorite authors. This is a fast reading novel with a surprise ending. Zan is s ire someone is posing as her and causing her so many problems which ultimately result in her arrest. <br/> "

" I've always read MHC books for an easy, relaxing read but with the limited amount of time I have to rad I think I'll skip her next book and read something else. "
— Cathy, 5/17/2011 -
" I thought this book was better than her usual style which is introducing many characters and making it look like any of them could be the bad guy. Very enjoyable read! "
— Tgray, 5/16/2011 -
" I always enjoy her books. This one had me in suspense as to who done it most of the book. Good ending. "
— Karen, 5/16/2011 -
" I have you figured out, Mary Higgins Clark. But I do love your stories! "
— Tara, 5/16/2011 -
" This wasn't one of MHC's best books, but it was still a good mystery. Typical of her writing, the culprit isn't revealed until the very end. I had my suspicions, but I really don't find him/her as a believable criminal. Maybe it's just me. "
— Melanie, 5/13/2011 -
" Excellent! I didn't figure it out until almost the end. "
