Acerca de este libro electrónico
When her husband falls from the terrace of their NYC penthouse, a young widow is terrorized by his killer in this thriller from an Edgar Award winner.
As the much younger wife of a wealthy man, Sue Desart has much to be grateful for. After her first fiancé was killed in Vietnam, she didn't expect a great romance, only companionship and security, which Marcus Desart graciously offered. But moving into his eerie Manhattan penthouse, Sue realizes she doesn't know her husband as well as she thought. And the specter of his first wife's death—a woman brutally murdered on the penthouse terrace by an unknown perpetrator—begins to haunt her. Until the night Marcus falls from the terrace himself, landing a few feet from where his first wife's body was found.
Bereft and terrified, Sue must face life alone in the penthouse, with a killer on the loose, intent on making her his next victim.

Acerca del autor
Mignon G. Eberhart (1899–1996) wrote dozens of mystery novels over nearly sixty years. Born in Lincoln, Nebraska, she began writing in high school, swapping English essays with her fellow students in exchange for math homework. She attended Nebraska Wesleyan University, and in the 1920s began writing fiction in her spare time, publishing her first novel, The Patient in Room 18, in 1929. With the follow-up, While the Patient Slept (1931), she won a $5,000 Scotland Yard Prize, and by the end of the 1930s she was one of the most popular female mystery writers on the planet.
Before Agatha Christie ever published a Miss Marple novel, Eberhart wrote romantic crime fiction with female leads. Eight of her books, including While the Patient Slept and Hasty Wedding (1938), were adapted for film. Elected a Mystery Writers of America Grand Master in 1971, Eberhart continued publishing roughly a book a year until the 1980s. Her final novel, Three Days for Emeralds, was published in 1988.
