In a first-time collaboration, “Queen of Suspense” Mary
Higgins Clark partners with bestselling author Alafair
Burke
to deliver a brand new suspense series about a television
program featuring cold case murders.
Television producer Laurie Moran is delighted when the
pilot
for her reality drama, Under Suspicion, is a success. Even
more, the program—a cold case series that revisits
unsolved
crimes by recreating them with those affected—is off to a
fantastic start when it helps solve an infamous murder in
the very first episode.
Now Laurie has the ideal case to feature in the next
episode
of Under Suspicion: the Cinderella Murder. When Susan
Dempsey, a beautiful and multi-talented UCLA student, was
found dead, her murder raised numerous questions. Why was
her car parked miles from her body? Had she ever shown up
for the acting audition she was due to attend at the home
of
an up-and-coming director? Why does Susan’s boyfriend want
to avoid questions about their relationship?
Was her disappearance connected to a controversial church
that was active on campus? Was she close to her computer
science professor because of her technological brilliance,
or something more? And why was Susan missing one of her
shoes when her body was discovered?
With the help of lawyer and Under Suspicion host Alex
Buckley, Laurie knows the case will attract great ratings,
especially when the former suspects include Hollywood’s
elite and tech billionaires. The suspense and drama are
perfect for the silver screen—but is Cinderella’s murderer
ready for a close-up?
Together Mary Higgins Clark and Alafair Burke deliver an
exciting publishing event: the start of a thrilling new
series guaranteed to keep you guessing until the last
suspenseful page.
