About The Book

With a new foreword by Riley Sager, a thrilling mystery from the Queen of Suspense about a journalist who uncovers political schemes and revisits hidden secrets from the past.

I told you not to come…

Slipped under the door of her Georgetown home, the note was an ominous reminder of Pat Traymore’s past. The beautiful young television journalist had come to glamorous, high-powered Washington to produce a TV series. Her subject: Senator Abigail Jennings, slated for nomination as the first woman vice president of the United States.

With the help of an old flame, Pat delves into Abigail’s life, only to turn up horrifying facts that threaten to destroy the senator’s reputation and her career. Worse still, sinister connections to Pat’s own childhood and the nightmare secrets hidden within are surfacing—secrets waiting to destroy her.

The past and present collide in a battle for truth and survival with every revelation in this suspenseful, thrilling tale from the inimitable Mary Higgins Clark.
