ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

“Queen of Suspense” Mary Higgins Clark and Alafair Burke are back with their fifth enthralling mystery in the New York Times bestselling Under Suspicion series; You Don’t Own Me finds television producer Laurie Moran stopping at nothing to solve the murder of a celebrity doctor—even as she finds herself in grave danger as a mysterious stalker plots his next move.



When we last saw Laurie Moran, she had recently become engaged to her show’s former host, Alex Buckley. Since then, the two have been happily planning a summer wedding and honeymoon, preparing for Alex’s confirmation to a federal judicial appointment, and searching for the perfect New York City home for their new life together.

But then Laurie is approached by Robert and Cynthia Bell, parents of Dr. Martin Bell, a famously charming and talented physician who was shot dead as he pulled into the driveway of his Greenwich Village carriage house five years ago. The Bells are sure that Martin’s disgraced and erratic wife, Kendra, carried out the murder. Determined to prove Kendra’s guilt and win custody over their grandchildren, they plead with Laurie to feature their son’s case on “Under Suspicion,” ensuring her that Kendra is willing to cooperate.

Kendra has lived under a blanket of suspicion since Martin’s death, with the tabloid media depicting her as a secretive, mentally unstable gold-digger. Laurie’s show is a chance for her to clear her name. But unbeknownst to the Bells, Kendra has already refused once before to go forward with a re-investigation of her husband’s murder, and her statements to the contrary only add to the appearance of guilt.

But once Laurie dives into the case, she learns that Martin wasn’t the picture-perfect husband, father, and doctor he appeared to be and was carrying secrets of his own. And what does the web of lies ensnaring the Bell family have to do with a dangerous stranger, who gazes at Laurie from afar and thinks, She is actually quite a lovely girl, I’m sure she’s going to be missed…?

You Don’t Own Me is the perfect, exhilarating follow up to the bestselling Every Breath You Take. The “Queen of Suspense” Mary Higgins Clark and her dazzling partner-in-crime Alafair Burke have devised another riveting page-turner.

Quinto libro de la serie protagonizada por la reportera e investigadora Laurie Morgan y el equipo del programa de televisión Bajo sospecha.

Hace tres años, Virginia Wakeling, miembro de la junta directiva del Museo Metropolitano de Arte y una de sus más importantes donantes, apareció muerta. Había sido arrojada desde la terraza del museo la noche en la que se celebraba una gala para recaudación de fondos. El principal sospechoso del asesinato fue entonces, como sigue siendo ahora, su joven novio y entrenador personal, Ivan Gray.

Ivan regenta un establecimiento llamado Punch, financiado en buena medida por la difunta Virginia… y frecuentado por Ryan Nichols, el nuevo presentador de Bajo sospecha. Fue él, de hecho, quien propuso investigar este caso cerrado para el programa. Cuando la productora, Laurie Moran, lo acepte, pronto se adentrará en una red de secretos y traiciones hasta descubrir que el peligro también lo acecha a ella.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

The New York Times bestselling Under Suspicion series by the “Queen of Suspense” Mary Higgins Clark and Alafair Burke returns with this gripping mystery following television producer’s Laurie Moran investigation of the unsolved Met Gala murder—in which a wealthy widow was pushed to her death from the famous museum’s rooftop.

Laurie Moran’s professional life is a success—her television show Under Suspicion is a hit, both in the ratings and its record of solving cold cases. But her romantic break from former host Alex Buckley has left her with on-air talent she can’t stand—Ryan Nichols—and a crippling sense of loneliness.

Now Ryan has suggested a new case. Three years ago, Virginia Wakeling, a member of the Board of Trustees of the Metropolitan Museum of Art and one of the museum’s most generous donors, was found dead in the snow, after being thrown from the museum’s roof on the night of the Met Gala. The leading suspect then and now is her much younger boyfriend and personal trainer, Ivan Gray.

Ivan runs a trendy, successful boutique gym called Punch—a business funded in no small part by the late Virginia—which happens to be the gym Ryan frequents. Laurie’s skepticism about the case is upended by a tip from her father’s NYPD connection, and soon Laurie realizes there are a bevy of suspects—including Virginia’s trusted inner circle.

As the Under Suspicion crew pries into the lives of a super wealthy real estate family with secrets to hide, danger mounts for several witnesses—and for Laurie.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

The second in the thrilling New York Times bestselling series from Mary Higgins Clark and Alafair Burke, follows television producer Laurie Moran as she investigates the cold case of a bride who went missing days before her wedding.

Five years ago, Amanda Pierce was excitedly preparing to marry her college sweetheart. She and Jeffrey had already battled through sickness and health, although their livelihoods looked set as Amanda was due to inherit her father’s successful garment company.

Then Amanda disappeared the night of her bachelorette party.

In present-day New York, Laurie Moran realizes a missing bride is the perfect cold case for her Under Suspicion television series to investigate. By recreating the night of the disappearance at the wedding’s Florida resort with Amanda’s friends and family, Laurie hopes to solve the case. Laurie and her Under Suspicion host Alex Buckley soon find themselves overwhelmed with theories and rumors about the “beloved” bride from those who were involved with the wedding, including Amanda’s former fiancé, a jealous sister, and plenty of playboy groomsmen.

One thing is certain, whoever was behind Amanda’s vanishing plans to keep the truth hidden “until death do they part.”

Cuatro testigos de un asesinato sin resolver aceptan participar en un reality dedicado a recrearlo. Un revelador ejemplo del poder de la televisión de la mano de la inimitable reina del suspense.

A los tres años, Timmy fue el único testigo del asesinato de su padre. Solo él le vio la cara al culpable. Pasados cinco años todavía tiene pesadillas y recuerda con ansiedad los ojos azules y penetrantes del asesino; pero a su madre, Laurie, lo que más le atormenta es la amenaza que le hizo a su hijo: «Dile a tu madre que ella será la siguiente y después irás tú».

Ahora otro crimen ocupa la vida de Laurie, esta vez como productora de un programa de televisión sobre casos sin resolver. El primer episodio gira en torno al asesinato de Betsy Powell. Hace veinte años, Betsy fue asfixiada en su cama después de una gran fiesta en su casa para celebrar la graduación de su hija. Los que estuvieron presentes esa noche han aceptado participar en el programa y en la reconstrucción del crimen, pero desde el inicio de la grabación resulta evidente que cada uno esconde más de un secreto.

Además, aunque Laurie aún no lo sepa, una persona de afilados ojos azules está observándolo todo muy de cerca…
