Ten years ago, i21 year old Columbia University senior Charles MacKenzie Jr. walked out of his Manhattan apartment without a word to his roommates and disappeared. He calls his mother once a year, on Mother's Day, but refuses to answer her frantic questions. This year when he calls, Mack's sister Carolyn, now 26, announces her intentions to track him down, no matter what it takes. Ignoring a cryptic warning note & the angry protests of her mother, Carolyn swiftly plunges into a world of unexpected danger and unanswered questions. What do Mack's old roommates-a charismatic club owner and a wealthy real estate tycoon-know about his disappearance? Can the police possibly believe that Mack is a shadowy predator-or even a murder? Carolyn's passionate search for the truth leads her into a deadly confrontation with someone close to her whose secret he cannot allow her to reveal.
slow start but holy cow it picked up quick
An engrossing story from page one. I couldn't put it down. I read it in just a few hours. Wonderful story from MHC and would recommend to everyone.
Awsome book. My first Mary Higgins Clark book and I am hooked. I had a hard time putting this one down.
Another great thriller from Mary Higgins Clark who really knows how to keep her readers on the edge of their chairs.
