ALL AROUND THE TOWN
When Laurie Kenyon, a twenty-one-year-old student, is accused of murdering her English professor, Allan Grant, she has no memory of the
crime. But at the scene of the homicide, her fingerprints are
everywhere—on the door, on the curtain, and on the knife used to stab
him to death. Shocked and bewildered, Laurie is arraigned on a
murder charge.
Kidnapped at the age of four and the victim of two subsequent years of abuse and incarceration, Laurie has developed multiple personalities.
The host personality, Laurie, is unaware of the others...especially
"Leona," who has written crazed love letters to Allan Grant and has
secretly entered his home.
Laurie's sister, attorney Sarah Kenyon, takes up her defense and brings
in psychiatrist Justin Donnelly to help Laurie unlock the unbearable
memories of her lost years. But Laurie's abductor, now a celebrated television evangelist, is still obsessed with her...and determined
to avoid exposure. With a terrifying twist at the climax, Mary Higgins Clark takes us on a
breathtaking journey into the minds of a tortured young woman
desperate to retrieve her memories, and the mesmerizing preacher whose unsavory past is only a prelude to his final, gruesome plan for her....

Professor Allan Grant is found stabbed to death, and all the evidence points to an obsessed student, 21-year-old Laurie Kenyon. She sent him passionate letters, stalked him, watched him through his study window. And after the murder, she wakes up in her dormitory, covered in blood and clutching the knife that killed him. Laurie's sister and attorney, Sarah, is the only one who understands Laurie's daily nightmare and the shocking lingering effects of a childhood kidnapping too hideous to be recalled. Laurie's abductors - Bic Hawkins and his wife Opal, now prominent TV evangelists - fear she will start to remember her life with them. And her past must remain buried at all costs, even if it means Bic has to carry out the murderous threat he made all those years ago to a terrified girl...
