The "Queen of Suspense," Mary Higgins Clark, delivers a gripping tale of deception and tantalizing twists that could have been ripped from today's headlines. When Nicholas Spencer, the charismatic head of a company that has developed an anticancer vaccine, disappears without a trace, reporter Marcia "Carley" DeCarlo is assigned the story. Word that Spencer, if alive, has made off with huge sums of money—including the life savings of many employees—doesn't do much to change Carley's already low opinion of Spencer's wife, Lynn, who is also Carley's stepsister and who everyone believes is involved. But when Lynn's life is threatened, she asks Carley to help her prove that she wasn't her husband's accomplice. As the facts unfold, however, Carley herself becomes the target of a dangerous, sinister group that will stop at nothing to get what they want.
For juvenile.
Josh McCain is about to inherit a fortune, but instead of leaving behind easy money, his father has sought to accomplish in death what he was unable to do in life. He strips his slacker son of all his advantages, and substitutes a testament of tough love-an ultimate to-do list that targets Josh's mind, body, and soul. Josh has two years to complete the list if he is to inherit his father's vast estate. Forced out from his father's shadow, Josh must undertake an odyssey of self-renewal that takes him to people, places, and challenges he never thought he'd have to encounter, overcoming not only his own weaknesses, but obstacles and sabotage from persons who would benefit by his failure. Josh's journey brings him to a new level of understanding and faith, and if he doesn't blow it-true love.

Nicholas Spencer, charismatic head of the medical research company Gen-Stone, involved in the development of an anticancer vaccine, suddenly disappears.

Narrowly escaping death when her mansion is set on fire, Lynn 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.
