Sinopsis

When her husband falls from the terrace of their NYC penthouse, a young widow is terrorized by his killer in this thriller from an Edgar Award winner. 
 
As the much younger wife of a wealthy man, Sue Desart has much to be grateful for. After her first fiancé was killed in Vietnam, she didn’t expect a great romance, only companionship and security, which Marcus Desart graciously offered. But moving into his eerie Manhattan penthouse, Sue realizes she doesn’t know her husband as well as she thought. And the specter of his first wife’s death—a woman brutally murdered on the penthouse terrace by an unknown perpetrator—begins to haunt her. Until the night Marcus falls from the terrace himself, landing a few feet from where his first wife’s body was found.  
 
Bereft and terrified, Sue must face life alone in the penthouse, with a killer on the loose, intent on making her his next victim.
