A headline-making financing scandal and a breathtaking tale of deception collide in #1 NY Times bestselling author Mary Higgins Clark’s finest thriller yet.

As the sole helper to a famous upscale interior developer, Street Harmon is familiar with going to opulent homes. Therefore her latest work at a moderate New Jersey townhouse is uncommon. Then she discovers the home is one of the wife of disgraced financing magnate Parker Bennett, who vanished two years earlier, along with the five billion money hedge account he managed.

The question over whether Bennett was suicidal or staged his disappearance still proceeds. Both his customers and the government want to trace the amount of money and find him. But Lane is surprisingly shifted by Mrs. Bennett’s steadfast faith in her husband’s innocence. Steadily, Lane is also attracted to the Bennetts’ kid, Mark, who’s equally driven to show his father isn’t guilty. What she doesn’t recognize is the nearer she gets to the notorious family members, the more her life-and that of her five-year-old daughter-is in danger.
