Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
The third thrilling installment in the bestselling Under Suspicion series from #1 New York Times bestselling author and "Queen of Suspense" Mary Higgins Clark and Alafair Burke--television producer Laurie Moran puts everything on the line to help a woman she thinks was wrongfully convicted of murder.
Casey Carter was convicted of murdering her fianc#65533;--famed philanthropist Hunter Raleigh III--fifteen years ago. And Casey claims--has always claimed--she's innocent. Although she was charged and served out her sentence in prison, she is still living "under suspicion." She hears whispers at the grocery store. She can't get a job. Even her own mother treats her like she's guilty. Her story attracts the attention of Laurie Moran and the Under Suspicion news team--it's Casey's last chance to finally clear her name, and Laurie pledges to exonerate her.
With Alex Buckley taking a break from the show--cooling his potential romance with Laurie-- Under Suspicion introduces a new on-air host named Ryan Nichols, a young legal whiz with a Harvard Law degree, Supreme Court clerkship, experience as a federal prosecutor, and regular stints on the cable news circuit. He's got a big reputation and the attitude to match it. Ryan has no problems with steering--and stealing--the show, and even tries to stop Laurie from taking on Casey's case because he's so certain she's guilty.
An egomaniacal new co-host, a relentless gossip columnist who seems to have all the dirt (and a surprising informant), and Casey's longstanding bad reputation: Laurie must face this and more to do what she believes is right, to once and for all prove Casey's innocence--that is, if she's innocent… The Sleeping Beauty Killer will keep you guessing until the very end.
Per email from N. Petry, Assistant to Mary Higgins Clark (11/8/2016), when asked the names of the titles in the Under Suspicion Novels, and what number they are in the series?: "'I've Got You Under My Skin', was the beginning of the 'Under Suspicion Series' written by Mary alone. Then the co-authored books with Alafair Burke followed next: 'The Cinderella Murder', 'All Dressed In White', and now 'The Sleeping Beauty Killer'."
Using the above email as the authority, dust jacket fly-leaf incorrectly notes this book as "third book in the series."
