Publisher Description

From the "Queen of Suspense," Mary Higgins Clark, comes a riveting tale of suspense, secrets and revenge.

Historian Jean Sheridan returns to Cornwall-on-Hudson, New York, excited about her twenty-year high-school reunion at Stonecroft Academy. But a dear friend of hers soon becomes the fifth woman in the class to meet a sudden, mysterious end. Then Jean receives a taunting fax about a child she gave up for adoption, whose existence she had kept a secret but whose life may now be in danger. For present at the reunion is The Owl, a murderer on a mission of vengeance against women who once humiliated him...and Jean is his final intended victim.

"And I doubted that I would enjoy this book...I knew there was a reason that I consider Mary Higgins Clark one of my favorite authors! I literally could not put this book down!! After submerging myself in self-help and non-fiction reads, it was a guilty pleasure to succumb to a good old suspense fiction :) Mary Higgins Clark is TRULY the queen of suspense!"
