Second Time Around by Mary Higgins Clark, ISBN 9780743467735

> Fiction Books > General Books

A gripping tale of deception and tantalising suspense.

Nicholas Spencer, charismatic head of the medical research company Gen-Stone, involved in the development of an anti-cancer vaccine, suddenly disappears. His private plane crashes en route to Puerto Rico, but his body is not found.

Rocking the financial and medical world even more, comes the shocking revelation that Spencer had looted Gen-Stone of huge sums of money - and that his wife, Lynn, is accused of having participated in the scam.

Lynn Spencer, narrowly escaping death when her mansion is set on fire, turns to her stepsister, Carley, a columnist for the 'Wall Street Weekly', to help prove that she was not her husband's accomplice.

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? And as the facts begin to unfold, she becomes the focus of a dangerous group involved in a sinister and fraudulent scheme.

About the Author: Mary Higgins Clark

Mary Theresa Eleanor Higgins Clark Conheeney (born December 24, 1927 in the Bronx, New York), known as Mary Higgins Clark, is an American author of suspense novels. Each of her twenty-four books has been a bestseller in the United States and various European countries, and all of her novels remain in print as of 2007, with her debut suspense novel, Where Are The Children, in its seventy-fifth printing.

Clark began writing at an early age. After several years working as a secretary and copy editor, Clark spent a year as a stewardess for Pan-American Airlines before leaving her job to marry and start a family. She supplemented the family's income by writing short stories. After her husband died in 1959, Clark worked for many years writing four-minute radio scripts, until her agent convinced her to try writing novels. Her debut novel, a fictionalized account of the life of George Washington, did not sell well, and she decided to leverage her love of mystery/suspense novels. Her suspense novels became very popular, and as of 2007 her books have sold more than 80 million copies in the United States alone.

Her daughter, Carol Higgins Clark, is also a suspense writer.
