Product Description

Mary Higgins Clark sends chills down readers' spines with the story of Lacey Farrell, a rising star on the Manhattan real estate scene. One day, while showing a luxurious skyline co-op, Lacey is witness to a murder -- and to the dying words of the victim.... The dying woman is convinced that the attacker was after her dead daughter's journal -- which Lacey gives to the police, but not before making a copy for herself. It's an impulse that later proves nearly fatal.

Placed in the witness protection program and sent to live in the Minneapolis area, Lacey must assume a fake identity, at least until the killer can be brought to trial. There she meets Tom Lynch, a radio talk-show host whom she tentatively begins to date -- until the strain of deception makes her break it off. Then she discovers the killer has traced her to Minneapolis. Armed with nothing more than her own courage and clues from the journal, Lacey heads back to New York, determined to uncover who's behind the deaths of the two women -- before she's the next casualty.

At once seductive and frightening, Pretend You Don't See Her is the "mistress of high tension" (The New Yorker) at her ingenious best.

Amazon.com Review
Lacey Farrell, the heroine of Mary Higgins Clark's 15th novel, is having a bit of an identity crisis. While working as a real estate agent in New York, Lacey witnessed a client's murder, and now she's in hiding with a new name and a new life. But changing her identity doesn't completely remove Lacey from the web of danger and deceit that surrounds the crime; new clues keep popping up that suggest some kind of link between Lacey's family and the murder. Meanwhile, a new man comes into the heroine's life, further complicating an already murky situation. As any fan will tell you, Mary Higgins Clark never fails to deliver plot twists and turns that are as unexpected as they are thrilling.

From Booklist
Lacey Farrell, a Manhattan real-estate agent, gets involved with murder when one of her clients, Isabelle Landi, is killed in front of her. Isabelle has confided in Lacey that she believes the car crash in which her daughter died was no accident. Before Isabelle takes her final breath, she pleads with Lacey to bring pages from her daughter's diary to the girl's father. Lacey does so, but because of what she knows, including her ability to identify the hit man, she lands in the witness-protection program, where she uses her time to find out why Heather and her mother were killed. Lacey is a particularly obtuse heroine, always doing the exact thing that will get her into more trouble, but the story is briskly paced and features a few surprises. Clark's legion of fans will find this pleasing enough, though not top drawer. Ilene Cooper
