| Book description | |
Before leaving for a black-tie affair in New York City, Margaret and Steve Frawley celebrate the third birthday of their twin girls, Kathy and Kelly, with a party at their new home in Ridgefield, Conn. Later that night, when Margaret can't reach the babysitter, she contacts the Ridgefield police. The frantic1 couple return home to find the children missing and a ransom2 note demanding $8 million. Though the Frawleys meet all the conditions, only Kelly turns up in a car along with a dead driver and a suicide note saying that Kathy has died. But Kelly's telepathic messages from her sister keep telling her differently, and Margaret won't give up hope. Even the most skeptical3 law enforcement officers and the FBI, who pursue suspects from New York to Cape4 Cod5, begin to believe Kelly is on to something. Clues from ordinary people lead to a riveting6 conclusion. Rivaling Clark's debut-Where Are the Children?-this suspense7 thriller8 is certain to send terror into the heart of any parent.
