In her latest novel, Daddy’s Gone A Hunting, Mary
Higgins Clark, the beloved “Queen of Suspense,” exposes a
dark secret from a family’s past that threatens the lives of
sisters Kate and Hannah Connelly when the family-owned
furniture firm explodes into flames in the middle of the
night, leveling the buildings to the ground, including a
museum where priceless antiques have been on permanent
display for years.
The ashes reveal a startling and grisly discovery and
provoke a host of suspicions and questions. Was the
explosion deliberately set? What was Kate—a CPA for one of
the biggest accounting firms in the country—doing in the
museum when it burst into flames? Why was Gus, a retired and
disgruntled craftsman, with her at that time of night? What
if someone isn’t who he claims to be?
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
may have to do with the hunt for a young woman missing for
many years. Nor can they warn that somebody may be covering
his tracks, willing to kill to save himself.
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...
