The Second Time Around -- Mary Higgins Clark

<b>A corporate scandal and a family's fight for truth unfolds in this nail-biting thriller from the #1 <i>New York Times</i> bestselling Queen of Suspense.</b> <p/>When Nicholas Spencer, the charismatic head of a company that has developed an anticancer vaccine, disappears without a trace, reporter Marcia "Carley" DeCarlo is assigned the story. Word that Spencer, if alive, has made off with huge sums of money--including the life savings of many employees--doesn't do much to change Carley's already low opinion of Spencer's wife, Lynn, who is also Carley's stepsister and who everyone believes is involved. But when Lynn's life is threatened, she asks Carley to help her prove that she wasn't her husband's accomplice. As the facts unfold, however, Carley herself becomes the target of a dangerous, sinister group that will stop at nothing to get what they want.<br><br><b>Author:</b> Mary Higgins Clark<br><b>Publisher:</b> Simon & Schuster<br><b>Published:</b> 07/15/2025<br><b>Pages:</b> 320<br><b>Binding Type:</b> Paperback<br><b>Weight:</b> 0.55lbs<br><b>Size:</b> 8.20h x 5.40w x 0.80d<br><b>ISBN:</b> 9781668080146<br><br><b>Accelerated Reader:</b><br><b>Reading Level:</b> 6<br><b>Point Value:</b> 14<br><b>Interest Level:</b> Upper Grade<br><b>Quiz #/Name: </b>73600 / Second Time Around<br><br><p><b>About the Author</b><br>The #1 <i>New York Times </i>bestselling author Mary Higgins Clark wrote forty suspense novels, four collections of short stories, a his&shy;torical novel, a me
