Publisher's Synopsis
The extraordinary new novel from Queen of Suspense Mary Higgins Clark & Alafair Burke
Falsely accused victim? Or cold-blooded killer?
Casey Carter was convicted of murdering her fiancé fifteen years ago. But Casey claims - has always claimed - she's innocent. And although she was charged and served out her sentence in prison, she is still living 'under suspicion'. She hears whispers at the grocery store. She can't get a job. Even her own mother treats her like she's guilty.
Her story attracts the attention of Laurie Moran and the Under Suspicion news team - it's Casey's last chance to finally clear her name, and Laurie pledges to exonerate her.
Now Laurie must face an egomaniacal new co-host, a relentless gossip columnist who seems to have all the dirt and Casey's longstanding bad reputation to once and for all prove Casey's innocence -that is, if she's innocent…
The Sleeping Beauty Killer is another riveting page-turner from the Queen of Suspense Mary Higgins Clark and her dazzling partner-in-crime, Alafair Burke.
