The Anastasia Syndrome

And Other Stories

Plot

Here is the first collection ever of short fiction from Mary Higgins Clark, America's reigning queen of romantic suspense -- a book which reflects the author's intense personal interest in parapsychology, the sixth sense, and thought transference, and which is sure to thrill her fans and further confirm her reputation as a spellbinding storyteller. From her debut, with "Where Are the Children?", to her latest bestseller, "While My Pretty One Sleeps", Mary Higgins Clark's masterly blend of glamour, romance, and heart-pounding, believable suspense has made her one of America's most popular bestselling novelists.
