One of Mary Higgins Clark's best performances....a son watches his mothers death... the wrong person is to be executed...and another bides his time to complete the job.

I have never read a Mary Higgins Clark that did not satisfy. A very good suspense novel.

WOW! This is one of Mary Higgins Clark's early books and it is great! Meeting while debating the death penalty on the Today Show, the main characters fall in love. A kidnapping takes place and the plot thickens, in fact it becomes so intense I had to take a break several times and calm myself down before reading on. This is a true horror mystery. I'm glad I didn't miss this suspensful page turner.

A very exciting thriller.
None of them could forget the tragic, brutal murder of Nina Peterson. Not her husband, Steve Peterson, ravaged by her loss and raging for revenge, nor his six-year-old son Neil, a terrified witness to his mother's slaying. Not Sharon Martin, who loves them both and wishes only to ease their pain and hurt, nor Ronald Thompson, who sits wrongly convicted of the murder on the eve of his execution. Certainly not the stranger who had killed once in psychopathic glee, who has not finished with any of them, who lives for the moment when he can kill again and again.

Ronald Thompson knows he never killed Nina Peterson... yet in two days the state of Connecticut will take his life, having found him guilty via due process of law. But Thompson's death will not stop the pain and anger of Nina's husband, Steve. Thompson's death will not still the fears of Nna's six-year-old son, Neil, witness to his mother's brutal slaying. Not even the love and friendship of Sharon Martin, a journalist who is slowly becoming a part of their world, will ever erase their bitter memories. Only time, perhaps, will heal their wounds. But in the shadows a stranger waits, a cunning psychopath who has killed before, who has unfinished business at the Peterson home...
