In a
first-time collaboration, “Queen of Suspense” Mary Higgins Clark
partners with bestselling author Alafair Burke to deliver a brand new
suspense series about a television program featuring cold case murders.
Television producer Laurie Moran is delighted when the pilot for her reality drama, Under Suspicion,
is a success. Even more, the program—a cold case series that revisits
unsolved crimes by recreating them with those affected—is off to a
fantastic start when it helps solve an infamous murder in the very first
episode.
Now Laurie has the ideal case to feature in the next episode of Under Suspicion:
the Cinderella Murder. When Susan Dempsey, a beautiful and
multi-talented UCLA student, was found dead, her murder raised numerous
questions. Why was her car parked miles from her body? Had she ever
shown up for the acting audition she was due to attend at the home of an
up-and-coming director? Why does Susan’s boyfriend want to avoid
questions about their relationship? Was her disappearance connected to a
controversial church that was active on campus? Was she close to her
computer science professor because of her technological brilliance, or
something more? And why was Susan missing one of her shoes when her body
was discovered?
With the help of lawyer and Under Suspicion
host Alex Buckley, Laurie knows the case will attract great ratings,
especially when the former suspects include Hollywood’s elite and tech
billionaires. The suspense and drama are perfect for the silver
screen—but is Cinderella’s murderer ready for a close-up?
Together Mary Higgins Clark and
Alafair Burke deliver an exciting publishing event: the start of a
thrilling new series guaranteed to keep you guessing until the last suspenseful page.
