The unmissable thriller from the Grande Dame of Suspense, MARY HIGGINS CLARK, and New York Times bestselling author ALAFAIR BURKE. The Met Gala ball: the world’s most glamorous fundraising party, an incredible night where the rich and famous wear extraordinary designer gowns and rub shoulders in New York’s famous Metropolitan Museum of Art.

Although suspicion has always hovered around Virginia’s much younger boyfriend, there are a bevy of suspects. Laurie Moran decides to investigate Virginia’s death for her successful cold-cases television show, Under Suspicion. But the more she pries into Virginia’s murder, the closer Laurie comes to discovering just how dangerous an invitation to the Met Gala can be… Praise for Mary Higgins Clark and Alafair Burke ‘The grande dame of American thriller writing’ Los Angeles Times Book Review ‘Clark and Burke's collaboration is as smooth as rum and coke, with just enough kick to make the reader thirsty for another’ Publishers Weekly on All Dressed in White

In Vind mij van New York Times-bestsellerauteur Alafair Burke is het vijftien jaar geleden dat Hope Miller in een klein dorpje in New Jersey werd aangetroffen in een autowrak. Door haar geheugenverlies heeft ze vandaag de dag nog steeds geen idee wie ze is, wat haar echte naam is óf waar ze vandaan komt. De dokters verzekerden haar dat haar geheugen wel terug zou komen, maar terwijl Hope in New Jersey een leven voor zichzelf probeerde op te bouwen, bleven haar herinneringen angstvallig stil. Nu wil ze de staat alsnog verlaten, maar haar advocaat en beste vriendin Lindsay Kelly ziet de verhuizing naar East Hampton niet zitten. Lindsays angsten blijken terecht: opnieuw verdwijnt Hope als sneeuw voor de zon. De enige aanwijzing is een druppel bloed op de plek van verdwijning… en die matcht met een beruchte seriemoordenaar. Lindsay zal met detective Ellie Hatcher alles op alles moeten zetten om de spoorloze Hope terug te vinden, maar dan ontrafelen ze een bloedstollend complot waarin niets is wat het lijkt… Vind mij is een razend spannend verhaal over hoe het verleden je nooit écht met rust laat. ‘Een subliem plot.’ – Vrouwenthrillers

Mais leur bonheur de façade se lézarde lorsque l'une des stagiaires de son mari dépose plainte contre lui pour comportement déplacé, puis qu'une de ses collaboratrices l'accuse de viol. De quoi donner à Angela l'impression qu'elle ne connaît peut-être pas si bien celui qui partage sa vie.

Quando Anthony Amaro fu condannato all'ergastolo, nessuno pareva avere dubbi sulla sua colpevolezza: era lui l'omicida di sei donne ritrovate con gli arti spezzati. Ma ora, dopo quasi vent'anni, il passato sembra tornare per reclamare un'altra verità, quando una psicoterapeuta viene ritrovata morta e con le ossa rotte. Nel frattempo, una lettera anonima, ricevuta da Amaro con dettagli riservati sugli omicidi, sembra essere la prova della sua innocenza. A lavorare sul caso, la detective Ellie Hatcher e una parente della vittima. Per trovare le risposte che cercano, le due donne dovranno riportare alla luce oscuri segreti, che il tempo sembrava aver cancellato per sempre.

Dalla parte sbagliata

«Sono un fan di Alafair Burke fin dall'inizio della sua carriera, eppure, a ogni romanzo, riesce sempre a sorprendermi.» - MICHAEL CONNELLY - Si fa chiamare Hope Miller, ma non ha idea di chi sia in realtà. È successo tutto quindici anni fa. Un incidente d'auto. Il trauma cranico che le ha fatto perdere la memoria. Anni di vita cancellati. Trovata senza documenti, e soprattutto senza ricordi, Hope ha dovuto iniziare da capo: nuovo nome, nuova città, nuova vita. Senza mai smettere di chiedersi che cosa si stesse lasciando alle spalle... o da cosa stesse scappando. Non ce l'avrebbe fatta, però, a ricominciare senza Lindsay. Lindsay Kelly, avvocato, è la persona che l'ha soccorsa dopo l'incidente: per Hope un angelo custode, l'unica certezza in un mondo che aveva smesso di esserle amico. Ma adesso Hope ha deciso: è arrivato il momento di vivere la sua nuova vita da sola. Si trasferisce agli Hamptons. Ha trovato un lavoro, sembra, una sistemazione, è pronta. Ma quando, poco dopo, smette di rispondere al telefono e di dare sue notizie, Lindsay capisce che qualcosa non quadra. Ben presto, Hope diventa introvabile; l'unica traccia che sembra essersi lasciata indietro è una goccia di sangue... E quella goccia di sangue, grazie all'analisi del DNA, riporta Lindsay a qualcosa che risale a molti anni prima: il caso terribile dello strangolatore di College Hill, che sembrava chiuso ormai da tempo. E quando si parla di quello spietato serial killer c'e una sola persona che può aiutarla: si chiama Ellie Hatcher e lo strangolatore di College Hill le ha rovinato la vita. E forse, adesso, grazie a Hope, per Ellie è arrivato il momento di mettere la parola fine a quella storia. Alafair Burke torna con Ellie Hatcher, una delle sue protagoniste più amate, e ci regala un formidabile trio di donne in cerca della verità.

Se mi troverai

Quando il tuo sguardo è offuscato dall'amore, la verità è la cosa più difficile da vedere. Ellie Hatcher si è trasferita a New York da poco, e da poco lavora come detective al NYPD. Non ha ancora molta esperienza sul campo, ma il passato le ha già insegnato molto: a Wichita, nel Kansas, è cresciuta con un padre poliziotto che ha dedicato tutta la vita alla caccia di un serial killer, fino a morire in circostanze mai chiarite. Forse assassinato. O, forse, suicida. Anche se Ellie per molti anni si è rifiutata di crederlo. Un suicidio accertato sembrerebbe invece il caso a cui sta lavorando adesso. Julia, una ragazza di sedici anni, figlia di una ricchissima famiglia dell'élite newyorchese, viene ritrovata nella vasca da bagno con le vene tagliate, nella splendida casa dei suoi genitori nell'Upper East Side. Nonostante il biglietto di addio, alcuni elementi - prime fra tutti le testimonianze di chi la conosceva bene - fanno pensare che non si tratti di un atto volontario. In questi casi Ellie sa di dover seguire il suo istinto, che le farà scoprire ben presto che Julia non era affatto la persona che sembrava. La detective sarà costretta ad ammettere che dietro il suicidio di una ricca adolescente annoiata c'è una storia più complessa e oscura. Perché, a volte, basta una semplice bugia per allontanarci da quelli che ci vogliono bene, e da noi stessi. E Julia, di bugie, ne aveva dette parecchie.

Non dire una bugia

Chloe è la più giovane delle sorelle Taylor, ma è sempre stata la più amata, forse perché nella sua vita tutto è sempre apparso sotto controllo. Invece Nicky... La scapestrata Nicky. Quella che ha sempre combinato tanti casini. Che ha sempre bevuto un po' troppo. Che ha sposato d'impulso il giovane avvocato Adam Macintosh e ha avuto un bambino, ma non sa essere né moglie né madre. Oggi, Chloe e Nicky sono due perfette estranee. Nicky è rimasta a Cleveland, sola. Chloe lavora a New York in un importante giornale di moda. Ce l'ha fatta. Non solo: si è presa qualcosa che apparteneva a Nicky. È stato più forte di loro: lei e Adam si sono innamorati. D'altra parte Nicky, quella volta, l'aveva fatta grossa, e quando Adam ha visto il suo bambino in pericolo, ha deciso che era troppo. Adesso Chloe e Adam sono sposati, e insieme stanno crescendo Ethan, il figlio che Nicky non ha saputo amare. Ma quando Adam viene trovato morto sul pavimento della loro casa di vacanza negli Hamptons, una serie di dubbi comincia ad affacciarsi nella vita di Chloe. Dubbi sul marito, che ultimamente era sempre più reticente a parlare del proprio lavoro. Dubbi sul figlio, che l'adolescenza ha decisamente messo in crisi. E perfino dubbi su se stessa. Perché la verità è molto più di quello che l'apparenza lascia credere. E la vita troppo spesso ci fa dimenticare le cose più vere.

Sorelle sbagliate

«Un'autrice che continua a sorprendermi, a ogni nuovo libro.» Michael Connelly. Le donne pensano che gli uomini siano creature fin troppo prevedibili. E se non fosse poi così vero? Quando incontra Jason Powell, Angela non immagina che il loro flirt possa diventare qualcosa di serio: gli uomini li conosce, e non si aspetta molto da questo professore di Economia della New York University, corteggiatissimo e con una brillante carriera davanti a sé. Eppure, pochi anni dopo, eccoli sposati, con un figlio da crescere. Quando però Jason viene accusato da una studentessa di averla molestata, e poco dopo un'altra donna avanza accuse simili, tutto sembra sul punto di spezzarsi e Angela è costretta a guardare da vicino la persona che ha accanto, divisa tra l'istinto di proteggere la sua famiglia, e la sensazione di essere vittima di un terribile tradimento. Divisa tra la giovane poliziotta idealista che vuole aprirle gli occhi nei confronti del marito, e l'avvocatessa di Jason determinata a portare a casa una vittoria… Eppure chi è lei per giudicare? Perché anche Angela, la moglie perfetta, ha un segreto. Un segreto che nessuna donna sposata dovrebbe nascondere al proprio marito. Un segreto che potrebbe rovinare per sempre la sua vita, e quella della sua famiglia. E che a maggior ragione non deve venir fuori adesso… Con lo stesso ritmo irresistibile de La ragazza nel parco, Alafair Burke costruisce intorno alla sua protagonista, e ai suoi lettori, una realtà che non è mai quella che appare. Lasciando a chi legge una sola certezza: non c'è nulla di più pericoloso di una bugia detta bene.

La ragazza che hai sposato
