When Ellie Cavanaugh was eight years old, her fifteen-year-old sister did not come home one night. Her frantic parents put Ellie to bed before she had the chance to tell them about Andrea’s hiding place in Mrs. Westerfield’s garage. The next day Ellie goes to the hiding place and sees the bludgeoned body of her sister and runs home to tell her parents.

She is questioned by the police and is forced to tell them that Ellie was sneaking around behind her parents back dating nineteen-year-old Rob Westerfield. She testifies that Andrea was to meet Rob the night she was killed and on the strength of her belief, a jury convicted Rob of murder. Now twenty years later, Rob is out on parole, trying to get his record overturned and Ellie is determined to see that does not happen even if it means putting her life in danger.

Mary Higgins Clark has written another exciting work of suspense starring a heroine who is determined to do what she thinks is right no matter what the cost. Because readers like her and believe in her, they root her on every step of the way and hope she is successful in her mission. DADDY’S LITTLE GIRL is a fast paced absorbing read that is sure to hit the New York Times bestseller list.
