Daddy's Gone A HuntingA family’s dark and grisly secret threatens the lives of two sisters in this captivating new thriller from the beloved Queen of Suspense. What was Kate Connelly—a tall, glamorous CPA—doing in her family’s furniture museum when it exploded into flames in the middle of the night, destroying priceless antiques? Why was Gus, a disgruntled retired employee, with her at that hour? Now Gus is dead, and Kate lies in the hospital in a coma—so neither can tell what drew them there, or what the tragedy has to do with a young woman missing for many years. Nor can they warn that somebody they know may be covering his tracks, willing to kill to save himself. Step by step, in a novel of dazzling suspense and excitement, Mary Higgins Clark once again demonstrates the mastery of her craft that has made her books international bestsellers for years. She presents the reader with a perplexing mystery, a puzzling question of identity, and a fascinating cast of characters—one of whom may just be a ruthless killer. |
