Search - The Second Time Around

I have read only a few of Mary Higgins Clark's books, but have enjoyed each one. This one is no exception. This is a mystery involving the death of Nicholas Spencer, head of a medical research company, that has purportedly developed a vaccine for cancer. There are lots of twists and turns throughout this book, including a disgruntled stockholder on a vengeful rampage. I couldn't wait to see how this book ended.

Very interesting plot and characters. Kept me hooked.

Carley is the stepsister of Lynn Spencer, whose charismatic husband, Nicholas, dies in the crash of his small plane as he is fleeing arrest for looting the medical company he founded, which had made claims of a cancer cure, now proved false. Myriad investors have lost much, sometimes everything; one is Ned Cooper, whose beloved wife died as a consequence of Nicholas Spencer's thievery, and who determines to take revenge, setting off on a killing spree. Assigned to do a feature about the Spencer case, Carley digs deep, uncovering clues to a conspiracy within Spencer's medical company, as well as to the possibility that the cancer cure worked after all. Can she get to the bottom of the mess before Ned Cooper, or the possible conspirators, take her out?
