I love Mary Higgins Clark and love the way she develops I started reading at 3 pm and could not put the book down until I finished reading it entirely at 2 a.m.!!!!

The previous book where the main character was Elvira? was co-written by her daughter (I'm sure) and I absolutely hated it.

Marcia “Carley” DeCarlo, a columnist for Wall Street Weekly, is assigned to cover the story. As Carley proceeds with her investigation, she is confronted by seemingly impenetrable questions: Is Nicholas Spencer dead or in hiding? Was he guilty or set up? Why the sudden reversal in medical opinion of the vaccine from recognition to condemnation? As the facts unfold, Carley becomes the target of a dangerous group involved in a sinister and fraudulent scheme.. Early results of the vaccine seemed highly promising. Carley is the stepsister of Spencer’s wife, Lynn, an aggressive PR woman and socialite, whom she dislikes and distrusts. Then comes the shocking revelation that Spencer had looted Gen-Stone of huge sums of money. Yet, coinciding with Spencer’s disappearance is news that the FDA is denying approval. Nicholas Spencer, charismatic head of the medical research company Gen-Stone, involved in the development of an anticancer vaccine, s
