by Mary Higgins Clark
Hardcover, 2009
In her new thriller, Just Take My Heart, Mary Higgins Clark sets our pulses racing right from the start when Natalie Raines, a famous Broadway star, is murdered after accidentally discovering who killed her former roommate. But it seems Natalie had been in the process of divorcing her husband, Gregg Aldrich, a theatrical agent, and when a career criminal comes forward to claim that Aldrich hired him to kill his wife, a job he initially accepted and then decided to turn down, a grand jury indicts Aldrich for the murder of his wife.

Assistant prosecutor Emily Wallace is thrilled when her boss, Ted Wesley, assigns her to handle the high-profile case, even though it demands long hours of preparation. Thank goodness, Emily thinks, for her kind neighbor who offers to take care of her dog while she puts in long hours. She doesn’t know of his violent past when she gives him the key to her house.

Meanwhile, as Aldrich’s trial makes headlines, so does Emily, for the press soon reveals that she is the recipient of a transplanted heart. What they don’t know is that she’s begun to experience sentiments that defy all reason, along with an eerie suspicion that her life is now at risk.
