The Shadow of Your Smile

Összefoglaló

The latest novel from America's 'Queen of Suspense': At age 83 and in failing health, Olivia Morrow knows she has little time left. She faces a momentous choice: expose a long held family secret or take it with her to the grave. Olivia has in her possession letters from her deceased cousin Catherine, a nun. The letters reveal that at age 17 Catherine gave birth to a son and gave him up for adoption and they identify the father as Alex Gannon, a world-famous scientist. Now, 2 generations later Catherine's granddaughter, Monica stands as the rightful heir to what remains of the family fortune. But in telling Monica who she really is, Olivia would have to betray Catherine's wishes. As the pressure weighs down, little does Olivia realise that Alex Gannon's grand-nephews- who are currently exploiting the Gannon inheritance-will stop at nothing to silence Olivia and prevent Monica from learning the secret.
