A Christmas Eve Kidnapping

Three days before Christmas, Regan Reilly, a dynamic young sleuth from Carol Higgins Clark’s popular series, crosses paths with Alvirah Meehan, a lottery winner turned amateur detective from Mary Higgins Clark’s beloved books. Both find themselves at a New Jersey dentist’s office—Alvirah is picking up her husband after a dental procedure, while Regan is hoping to meet her father, Luke Reilly, for a routine appointment. But when Luke doesn’t show up, things quickly take a dangerous turn.

A Ransom Demand and a Race Against Time

Regan receives a shocking phone call: her father and his driver, Rosita Gonzalez, have been kidnapped, and the kidnappers are demanding a $1,000,000 ransom. With her private detective skills put to the ultimate test, Regan turns to Alvirah for help. Though Alvirah may not have a detective license, her valuable contacts in New York law enforcement make her a formidable ally. Together, they dive into a frantic investigation to save Luke before the kidnapper’s tough deadline expires.

Holiday Danger and Family Ties

As if the stakes weren’t high enough, Regan’s mother, famous mystery writer Nora Regan Reilly, has just been hospitalized with a badly broken leg, leaving Regan to balance comforting her mother and tracking down the ruthless kidnappers.
