Stillwatch Clark, Mary Higgins

Patricia Traymore takes a TV job in Washington DC just as her ex-husband's murder trial is about to begin. While producing a documentary on a senator's wife with White House ambitions, Pat finds herself tangled in a web of political intrigue, old secrets, and a killer who's been watching her for years. Mary Higgins Clark delivers a taut political thriller where power, ambition, and buried trauma collide in the corridors of American politics. The pacing is relentless, the red herrings plentiful, and the final reveal earns its shock value. Clark's gift for domestic suspense translates perfectly to the high-stakes world of DC, where everyone has something to hide and trust is the first casualty. If you like your mysteries with a side of political scandal and a heroine who refuses to stay quiet, this one delivers.
