Publisher Description

From America’s Queen of Suspense and #1 New York Times bestselling author comes a gripping tale of a young woman trying to unravel the mystery of a family tragedy—a quest with terrifying repercussions.

It has been ten years since twenty-one-year-old Charles MacKenzie Jr. (“Mack”) went missing. A Columbia University senior, about to graduate and already accepted at Duke University Law School, he walked out of his apartment on Manhattan’s Upper West Side without a word to his college roommates and has never been seen again. However, he does make one ritual phone call to his mother every year: on Mother’s Day. Each time, he assures her he is fine, refuses to answer her frantic questions, then hangs up. Even the death of his father, a corporate lawyer, in the tragedy of 9/11 does not bring him home or break the pattern of his calls.

Mack’s sister, Carolyn, is now twenty-six, a law school graduate, and has just finished her clerkship for a civil court judge in Manhattan. She has endured two family tragedies, yet she realizes that she will never be able to have closure and get on with her life until she finds her brother. She resolves to discover what happened to Mack and why he has found it necessary to hide from them. So this year when Mack makes his annual Mother’s Day call, Carolyn interrupts to announce her intention to track him down, no matter what it takes. The next morning after Mass, her uncle, Monsignor Devon MacKenzie, receives a scrawled message left in the collection basket: “Uncle Devon, tell Carolyn she must not look for me.”

"This book is all that i have expected from mary higgins clark. Straight to the point from the start , no draggy beginnings and not too many characters to confuse yourself with. Definitely has the suspense factor. The endings are always with an unexpected twist and the criminals are always someone you would never have suspected. I have always tried guessing who the criminals are in all of her books but have never succeeded."

— Clarice (5 out of 5 stars)

    " I enjoy taking a break from fabulous writing and reading a Mary Higgins Clark. Her books contain many characters, like Mauve Binchy, that are never fully developed. The story line, like a James Patterson novel, moves quickly. A race to the finish line, or to discover the killer. Clark does not utilize graphic murder scenes, which makes an easy read. Her stories are like settling down with an old storyteller. In this story, Carolyn, decides to find her brother, Mack, who has been missing for 10 years. The tale undercovers a serial killer, who knows that he will never stop killing. Clark presents a brief look at the thought process of a serial killer. "

    " Good mystery! Kept me guessing until the last 1/4th or so of the book. However, once you get to that point, it feels like the author was tired of writing and wrapped up everything SO quickly. There is SO much action and so many answers to questions in the last few chapters of the book. "
