Her new novel, eagerly awaited by all her many devoted readers, will lift them to new heights of terror - and pleasure. Set against the glittering world of New York's fashion industry, While My Pretty One Sleeps begins with the murder of Ethel Lambston, a famous gossip writer, whose forthcoming book threatens to expose the secrets of some of the most powerful - and glamorous - figures in the world of fashion. At its center is Neeve Kearny, owner of an expensive Madison Avenue boutique where Ethel shopped, daughter of a former New York City Police Commissioner, a beautiful young woman still trying to overcome the horror of her mother's murder seventeen years ago, in what seemed to have been a pointless act of revenge . . . Drawn into the drama of Ethel's death, Neeve soon finds herself in danger, puzzled, as is everyone, by the sheer number of people who might have had a reason for the killing: the wealthy dress manufacturer, whose mob connections and sweatshop factories have been exposed; Ethel's debt-ridden ex-husband, crazed by having to pay alimony every month to a woman who has all the money she needs and more; her ne'er-do-well nephew and sole heir, who has moved into her apartment, seemingly aware that she has disappeared . . . Neeve plunges into this tangled, dangerous web, not realizing that her own life is threatened, haunted by the feeling that the clue to the murder is something she knows, something which only she (and the victim herself) would have noticed, unaware that the killer is closer to her than she could ever have dreamed . . . Richly peopled with fascinating, varied characters from every walk of life - a brilliantly gifted designer, whose success conceals an awful secret; a Mafia don, just released from prison, who has vowed vengeance on Neeve's father and his family; a suave prelate who has almost reached the peak of the Catholic hierarchy; a vicious hit man, sworn to carry out a contract on Neeve's life; a brilliant young publisher who may, at last, be the man Neeve has been waiting for - While My Pretty One Sleeps has all the pace, the excitement, the high-charged suspense, the romance and the glamorous background that have made Mary Higgins lark one of America's most popular writers. Mary Higgins Clark is the best-selling author of seven novels, including A Stranger Is Watching, Stillwatch, Where Are the Children? and Weep No More, My Lady. Born and raised in New York City, she is a graduate of Fordham University.. First Edition 1st Printing. Hard Cover. Very Good/Very Good. Illus. by Rick Lovell. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall., Simon and Schuster, 3, Waanders BV, Uitgeverij 2019 2019. Hardcover, 208 pages/pagina's, Nederlands/English, ex in prima staat, met veel illustraties in kleur, . ISBN 9789462622098. Features work by an impressive list of international female designers. Besides the internationally famous names, it also considers the women behind the scenes of many fashion houses, whose far-reaching influence is something that has been completely overlooked in fashion history. Published to accompany an exhibition at Gemeentemuseum Den Haag, The Hague. 'The little seamstress' is how the renowned Coco Chanel was once disdainfully described by her contemporary Paul Poiret. He targeted her because she was a woman, but in fact he saw her as a major competitor. Times have changed. More fashion houses are now run by women than ever before. A perfect moment, therefore, for an overview that focuses on strong women in fashion. Femmes Fatales tells fashion history from the perspective of femail designers. Do they design differently for women than their male counterparts? What influence have they had? What does being a woman mean in terms of their creations? And what is their vision for fashion? This book includes work by Coco Chanel, Jeanne Lanvin, Elsa Schiaparelli, Mary Quant, Vivienne Westwood, Sonia Rykiel, Zandra Rhodes, Miuccia Prada, Maria Grazia Chiuri (Dior), Fong Leng, Sheila de Vries and Iris van Herpen, and many others.
