The Sleeping Beauty Killer — Mary Higgins Clark; Alafair Burke

Television producer Laurie Moran puts everything on the line to help a woman she thinks was wrongfully convicted of murder.

Casey Carter was convicted of murdering her fiancé -- famed philanthropist Hunter Raleigh III -- fifteen years ago. And Casey claims -- has always claimed -- she's innocent. Although she was charged and served out her sentence in prison, she is still living “under suspicion.” She hears whispers at the grocery store. She can't get a job. Even her own mother treats her like she's guilty. Her story attracts the attention of Laurie Moran and the Under Suspicion news team -- it's Casey's last chance to finally clear her name, and Laurie pledges to exonerate her.

With Alex Buckley taking a break from the show -- cooling his potential romance with Laurie -- Under Suspicion introduces a new on-air host named Ryan Nichols, a young legal whiz with a Harvard Law degree, Supreme Court clerkship, experience as a federal prosecutor, and regular stints on the cable news circuit. He's got a big reputation and the attitude to match it. Ryan has no problems with steering -- and stealing -- the show, and even tries to stop Laurie from taking on Casey's case because he's so certain she's guilty.

An egomaniacal new co-host, a relentless gossip columnist who seems to have all the dirt (and a surprising informant), and Casey's longstanding bad reputation: Laurie must face this and more to do what she believes is right, to once and for all prove Casey's innocence -- that is, if she's innocent… The Sleeping Beauty Killer will keep you guessing until the very end.
