AnkaraLibrary | Feb 23, 2024 |  AlbertLeonhardGieg | Dec 20, 2022 | archivomorero | Jun 27, 2022 | It’s been quite awhile that I have read something from Mary Higgins Clark that I enjoyed her writing and the book kept me interested throughout the entire book. The plot was well organized and the suspense involved about a medical research company that was close to creating an anticancer vaccine. Nicholas Spencer talked many people to place high amounts of money in the company. He was a person who had a way with words that he led many people to sponsor in his company. Early results of the vaccine were showing high response towards a cure for one type of cancer. After the FDA approval was turned down an unthinkable tragedy happened. Nicholas took his small plane to go to Puerto Rico on business and he crashed the plane and no remains were found. Certain circumstances happened that led people to believe that Nicholas stole all their money and set up the plane crash and just disappeared. After his disappearance his wife Lynn attends a meeting of the stockholders of the company and was accused of participating in the scam. An investigation was started by angry people, especially a couple whose son was dying from cancer and gave everything they had to invest in this cure. Lynn became a target escaping serious danger when someone torched her mansion to the ground. The investigation goes on but she is still under scrutiny with many questions that needed to be answered. “Is Nicholas dead or hiding waiting for Lynn somewhere, were they set up or guilty, however Lynn knew nothing of her husbands company. It was a great mystery and unpredictable. (  ) Juan-banjo | Apr 28, 2021 | As we all know, for every plus there is a negative. The biggest negative that I saw was that the author for some reason thought that it was necessary produce a recap of the story in nearly every chapter. I also got rather tired of the main character's "gut instinct" always being right no matter what. These however are small, easily overlooked things that the reader can live with.

Cuando Nicholas Spencer, dueño carismático de Gen-stone, una empresa dedicada a investigación médica, muere en un accidente de avión, salen a luz muchos datos inesperados: la estafa de ingentes cantidades de dinero a su empresa y el fiasco de su milagrosa vacuna le desvinculan, de repente, de la imagen de hombre honesto, amable y correcto que tenía hasta su muerte. Marcia DeCarlo (Carley para sus amigos), periodista que había conocido personalmente a Nicholas, recibe el encargo de investigar el caso para su revista, para lo que solicita la ayuda de su hermanastra, Lynn Spencer, viuda y segunda mujer del empresario, a la que lo único que le preocupa es que nadie la implique con la supuesta estafa. Las causas del accidente no están nada claras. ¿Fue un suicidio? ¿O un sabotaje? Carley descubre que varias personas tenían motivos para eliminar a Nicholas. También le parece muy extraño que la vacuna que preparaba su empresa de repente dé tan malos resultados cuando al principio siempre eran positivos y ella ha descubierto a un par de personas que han sido totalmente curadas tras administrales la vacuna. Carley empieza a hacer preguntas a los empleados de Gen-stone, como la secretaria de Nicholas, que desaparece misteriosamente, y a un médico amigo de Nicholas, que muere atropellado. Las amenazas no tardan en llegar: es evidente que alguien no quiere que Carley descubra la verdad, pero ella no parará hasta saber quién está detrás de todo.
