Missing Pieces

Joy Fielding

"Missing Pieces" begins with the news that another woman is missing. In fact, for the last five years, women in Palm Beach have had a disconcerting habit of turning up dead. Kate Simpson, middle-aged mother of two, has been idly keeping track of the disappearances. But she never thought that she would be involved, never dreamed that she'd come home to find her own family room floor slippery with blood--at least not until the day her sister put down the morning paper and calmly announced that she was going to marry a man who was on trial for the murder of thirteen women.

In her wildly successful thrillers, Joy Fielding has staked an indisputable claim to the territory of domestic suspense. With "Missing Pieces," she tightens the screws another notch, drawing Kate Simpson into a deadly cycle of violence and terror that will leave listeners breathless. This is another heart-stopping work from a master in the field of suspense fiction.
