'I am The Owl,' he would whisper to himself after he had selected his prey, 'and nighttime is my time.'\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJean Sheridan, a college dean and prominent historian, sets out to her hometown to attend the twenty-year reunion of Stonecroft Academy alumni, where she is to be honored along with six other members of her class. There is something uneasy in the air: one woman in the group about to be feted, Alison Kendall, a beautiful, high-powered Hollywood agent, drowned in her pool during an early-morning swim. Alison is the fifth woman in the class whose life has come to a sudden, mysterious end.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAdding to Jean's sense of unease is a taunting, anonymous fax she received, referring to her daughter -- a child she had given up for adoption twenty years ago.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt the award dinner, Jean is introduced to Sam Deegan, a detective obsessed by the unsolved murder of a young woman who may hold the key to the identity of the Stonecroft killer. Jean does not suspect that among the distinguished people she is greeting is The Owl, a murderer nearing the countdown on his mission of vengeance against the Stonecroft women who had mocked and humiliated him, with Jean as his final victim.\u003c\/p\u003e\nThe New York Times\n\u003cp\u003eBefore you pick up (or dismiss out of hand) Mary Higgins Clark's latest suspense story, \u003ci\u003eNighttime Is My Time\u003c\/i\u003e, consider this: Whatever her literary shortcomings, she gives good value. Her easy-reading novels always deliver a plot-driven narrative, a heroine who can take charge of a situation and some creeping menace that is genuinely scary because it is familiar in a personal way. — \u003ci\u003eMarilyn Stasio\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eCategories:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul class=\"category-tree\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMystery, Thriller \u0026amp; Suspense\u003cul class=\"category-tree\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThrillers \u0026amp; Suspense\u003cul class=\"category-tree\"\u003e\u003cli class=\"category-tree\"\u003eSuspense\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n","brand":"Pocket Books","offers":[{"title":"Used - Poor","offer_id":47607016849598,"sku":"074341263X-6","price":11.97,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0640\/9689\/5166\/files\/61eOUdm8OlL.jpg?v=1780696207","url":"https:\/\/shop.sustainablebooks.com\/products\/074341263x-nighttime_is_my_time","provider":"Sustainable Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
