Ellie Cavanaugh ha sette anni quando sua sorella Andrea viene brutalmente uccisa. La polizia ferma tre sospettati: Rob Westerfield, rampollo di ottima famiglia, di cui la vittima era segretamente innamorata; Paul Stroebel, un suo compagno di scuola, e Will Nebels, un quarantenne le cui attenzioni non sono gradite alle ragazze. La testimonianza di Ellie fa condannare la persona da lei ritenuta responsabile. Ventidue anni dopo il detenuto viene rilasciato sulla parola, ed è deciso a provare la propria estraneità al delitto. Ellie, ora affermata giornalista investigativa, torna a ripensare alla tragedia che ha distrutto i genitori, annientati dalla morte della figlia prediletta, e inaridito la sua stessa vita, schiacciata dalla colpa di non aver rivelato tutto ciò che sapeva sugli strani appuntamenti di Andrea. Vorrebbe provare in modo definitivo la colpevolezza del condannato, ma nel corso delle ricerche nuovi fatti vengono alla luce, facendola dubitare di aver puntato il dito sull'uomo giusto, e soprattutto avvicinandola pericolosamente a un assassino ormai disperato.

The brand new thriller from #1 New York Times bestselling author Mary Higgins Clark, America's undisputed Queen of Suspense

"A desperate mother. Her missing child. A stolen chalice." With "Silent Night", Mary Higgins Clark, America's own Queen of Suspense, gave her readers their best Christmas present ever. Now, with "All Through the Night", she once again celebrates the Christmas season with a tale of suspense that will keep readers turning the pages-- all through the night. At the center of the novel are two of Mary Higgins Clark's most beloved characters, Alvirah, the lottery winner turned amateur sleuth, and her husband, Willy, both of them caught up in a Christmas mystery that calls on all of Alvirah's deductive powers, as well as Willy's world-class common sense. The story begins when a young unmarried woman leaves her newborn child on the rectory doorstep at a church on the Upper West Side of Manhattan. At the same moment, inside the church, a young man is stealing a treasured artifact, a chalice adorned with a single star-shaped diamond. Both the infant and the chalice disappear. Seven years later, a few weeks before Christmas, Alvirah and Willy are busy helping Willy's sister Cordelia, a nun who runs a thrift shop that doubles as an after-school shelter for neighborhood kids, prepare for the upcoming Christmas pageant. The future of the shelter is threatened, however, when the city condemns the building for that use, and it is further jeopardized when a nearby brownstone to which the shelter was to be moved turns out to have been willed to a young couple who were tenants in the building. Alvirah refuses to believe that the will is genuine and sets out to prove that the couple are con artists. Soon she is involved in the mystery of the chalice and the child. In "All Through the Night", Mary Higgins Clark has fashioned a Christmas gift for all her readers.
