Vengeance is mine, I will repay, saith the Lord, according to the Book of Romans 12:19, but as for David (a devoted Christian turned backslider) , vengeance belongs to him personally and he will stop at nothing to get it. As David travels along a path of destruction, one question remains: Do two wrongs ever make a right?Vengeance is mine, I will repay, saith the Lord, according to the Book of Romans 12:19, but as for David (a devoted Christian turned backslider) , vengeance belongs to him personally and he will stop at nothing to get it. As David travels along a path of destruction, one question remains: Do two wrongs ever make a right? "Excerpt" Whoever said: two wrongs don’t make a right, must of been a Jesus freak; I know, I used to be one too. You see, for the majority of my life, I’ve been a devoted Christian; I dedicated my life to Jesus Christ; I attended church every Sunday—even tithed; I ministered to lost souls; I waited until marriage to have sex; I even forgave those who trespassed against me, wholeheartedly. Now don’t get me wrong; I wasn’t perfect, but I repented for all my sins and truly strived to be a true man of God. Prayer became a daily practice of mine and for the most part, God answered my prayers. However, when it came to one prayer request in particular, God had let me down. The one request that I truly cried out to God for had fallen on death ears. I couldn’t understand why; I mean, I kept God first in my life, walking by faith and not by sight, and trusted him to provide my every need. According to the Bible, God will put no more on us then we can handle, but what had happened to me, overwhelmed me, and hurt me to the point that I had lost all faith in God. So, as I stood over the campfire with my parents, channeling all of my anger towards those who trespassed against me, I made a vow to myself that from now on, I’d take matters into my own hands. Revenge never tasted so sweet.

Secret service agent Ethan Burke arrives in Wayward Pines, Idaho, with a clear mission: locate and recover two federal agents who went missing in the bucolic town one month earlier. But within minutes of his arrival, Ethan is involved in a violent accident. He comes to in a hospital, with no ID, no cell phone, and no briefcase. The medical staff seems friendly enough, but something feels…off. As the days pass, Ethan’s investigation into the disappearance of his colleagues turns up more questions than answers. Why can’t he get any phone calls through to his wife and son in the outside world? Why doesn’t anyone believe he is who he says he is? And what is the purpose of the electrified fences surrounding the town? Are they meant to keep the residents in? Or something else out?

In a novel that reaffirms her reputation as "America's Queen of Suspense," Mary Higgins Clark delivers a gripping tale of deception and tantalizing suspense. Nicholas Spencer, charismatic head of the medical research company Gen-stone, involved in the development of an anticancer vaccine, suddenly disappears. His private plane crashes en route to Puerto Rico, but his body is not found. Early results of the vaccine seemed highly promising. Yet, coinciding with Nicholas Spencer's disappearance comes news that the FDA is denying approval. Then follows the shocking revelation that Spencer had looted Gen-stone of huge sums of money -- including the lifetime savings of people who had risked every penny they had. Marcia "Carley" DeCarlo, the thirty-two-year-old columnist for the Wall Street Weekly, is assigned to cover the story. Carley is the stepsister of Spencer's wife, Lynn, an aggressive PR woman and socialite, whom she dislikes and distrusts. The day after news of her husband's disappearance rocks the financial and medical world, Lynn attends a meeting of the stockholders of Gen-stone, flaunting expensive clothing and jewelry. Accused of having participated in the scam, she appears indifferent to the anger and despair of the people attending, among them a man whose child has cancer and who is now about to lose his home. That night, she narrowly escapes death when her mansion in Bedford, New York, is set on fire. She turns to Carley, begging her to use her investigative skills to prove that she was not her husband's accomplice. As Carley proceeds with her investigation, she is confronted by seemingly impenetrable questions: Is Nicholas Spencer dead or in hiding? Was he guilty or set up? Why the sudden reversal in medical opinion of the vaccine from recognition to condemnation? And as the facts begin to unfold, she becomes the target of a dangerous group involved in a sinister and fraudulent scheme. The Second Time Around is Mary Higgins Clark at her best, telling a story that intertwines fiction with the stuff of real-life headlines in a novel of breathtaking suspense and surprises.
