Stillwatch by Mary Higgins Clark

In Stillwatch, the Queen of Suspense, Mary Higgins Clark, delivers a chilling tale of ambition, secrets, and murder set against the ruthless world of Washington, D.C.

Investigative journalist Patricia Traymore is on the verge of producing the biggest story of her career — a televised profile of a rising political star, Senator Abigail Jennings, who could become the nation’s first female Vice President. But as Patricia digs deeper, disturbing connections emerge between the senator’s past and Patricia’s own childhood tragedy in the same house where she now lives.

What begins as a professional assignment soon turns into a dangerous quest for truth as hidden crimes resurface and a killer’s shadow looms ever closer.

Taut, fast-paced, and filled with Clark’s trademark twists, Stillwatch is a haunting exploration of power, corruption, and the dark secrets that refuse to stay buried.
