"PRETEND YOU DON'T SEE HER should come with a warning.  Start it in the evening and you'll be reading way late into the night...This one is well worth the lost sleep."  -- Katy Kelly, USA Today --

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 the attacker was after her dead daughter's journal -- which Lacy gives to the police, but not after making a copy for herself.  It's an impulse that nearly proves 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 dtrain 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 discover 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.

"The built in risks, mystery, and strain of living under cover provide just the right foundation for the many-layered plot of Mary Higgins Clark's latest novel..." -- The New York Times Book Review
