Mary Higgins Clark | The Lost years
The Lost Years by Mary Higgins Clark is a gripping mystery that combines murder, family secrets and the discovery of a potentially priceless ancient document. Respected biblical scholar Dr Jonathan Lyons comes into possession of a long-lost parchment that disappeared from the Vatican centuries ago. Unsure what to do with his extraordinary discovery, he confides in only a handful of people. Soon afterwards, Jonathan is found murdered in his home – and the precious parchment has vanished.
Suspicion quickly falls on his wife Kathleen, who is suffering from Alzheimer's disease, but their twenty-seven-year-old daughter Mariah is determined to prove her mother's innocence and uncover the truth. Her search draws her into an increasingly dangerous web of greed, betrayal and carefully concealed secrets, while someone remains desperate to recover the missing document at any cost. Combining a classic murder mystery with archaeological and religious intrigue, The Lost Years delivers the twists, mounting tension and carefully planted clues that made Mary Higgins Clark one of the defining writers of modern suspense.
