Now in mass market, Mary Higgins Clark's thirtieth and most spine-chilling novel—"so good that it might as well have come with a soundtrack" (The Columbus Dispatch)—includes identity theft, revenge, and murder...
Alexandra "Zan" Moreland, a gifted, beautiful interior designer on the verge of a successful Manhattan career, is terrified to discover that somebody is not only using her credit cards, but may also be impersonating her in a scheme that involves the much more brutal crimes of kidnapping and murder. Already haunted by the disappearance of her own son, Matthew, kidnapped in broad daylight two years ago in Central Park, Zan has been left torn between hope and despair. Now, on what would be Matthew's fifth birthday, photos surface that seem to show Zan kidnapping her own child, followed by a chain of events that suggests somebody has stolen her identity.

Hounded by the press, under investigation by the police, attacked by both her angry ex-husband and a vindictive business rival, Zan, wracked by fear and pain and sustained only by her belief that Matthew is still alive, sets out to discover who is behind this cruel hoax. What she does not realize is that with every step she takes toward the truth, she is putting herself—and those she loves most—in mortal danger from the person who has ingeniously plotted out her destruction.

      Interior designer Zan Moreland is shocked to discover that someone has stolen her identity. But this isn't a simple case of stolen credit cards--the imposter is appearing around town dressing and acting just like Zan. The stakes are raised when a priest at Zan's church is brutally murdered after the look-alike attends confession. Jan Maxwell's narration skillfully highlights Zan's panic and horror when photographs surface suggesting that she herself kidnapped her son, who disappeared five years earlier. Maxwell's soft speaking voice is a perfect match for Zan and her conflicted imposter but lacks the hard- edged authenticity needed for the book's violent characters. Maxwell's narration is paced on the slow side, a choice that is not the wisest for a mystery with breakneck action. J.T. (c) AudioFile 2011, Portland, Maine

      MWA Grand Master Clark (The Shadow of Your Smile) explores identity theft in her middling 30th novel. Almost two years after someone snatched Alexandra "Zan" Moreland's then three-year-old son, Matthew, from his stroller while his sitter dozed, Zan, a New York City interior designer who remains devastated, has been unable to trace her son. To make matters worse, somebody is using her credit cards to purchase expensive items just as she's on the verge of landing a prestigious account for her fledgling business. Worst of all, evidence emerges that suggests Zan kidnapped her own son. Meanwhile, a priest is troubled by a woman whose confession reveals that a murder is being planned. Contrivances that prevent key information from reaching the heroine as well as characters without personality in the service of a plot with at least one major hole won't please those who prefer their suspense firmly grounded in reality and logic.
