That evening, Steve and Margaret attend a black-tie dinner in New York. On returning home, the police are in the house, the babysitter has been found unconscious, the children are gone and a note demanding an eight million dollar ransom has been left in their room. Steve firm agrees to pay the ransom. The kidnapper, who identifies himself as the \"Pied Piper\", makes his terms known - on delivery of the ransom, a call will come revealing the girls' whereabouts. The call comes, but only Kelly is in the car parked behind a deserted restaurant. The driver is dead from a gunshot wound and has left a suicide note, saying he had inadvertently killed Kathy and had dumped her body in the ocean. At the private memorial Mass for Kathy, Kelly tugs Margaret's arm and says: \"Mommy, Kathy is very scared of that lady. She wants to come home right now.\" More unexplainable occurrences follow, indicating that Kelly is in touch with Kathy. At first, no one except the mother believes that the twins are communicating and that Kelly is still alive. As Kelly's warnings become increasingly specific and alarming, however, the FBI agents set out on a search for Kathy. As they close in on the Pied Piper and his accomplices, Kathy's life hangs on a thread.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan class=\"relative -mx-px my-[-0.2rem] rounded px-px py-[0.2rem] transition-colors duration-100 ease-in-out\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMary Higgins Clark\u003c\/strong\u003e (1927–2020) was a renowned American author acclaimed for her suspenseful novels, often featuring strong female protagonists.\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan class=\"relative -mx-px my-[-0.2rem] rounded px-px py-[0.2rem] transition-colors duration-100 ease-in-out\"\u003eBorn Mary Theresa Eleanor Higgins on December 24, 1927, in the Bronx, New York, she began writing at an early age, keeping diaries and crafting poetry.\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan class=\"relative -mx-px my-[-0.2rem] rounded px-px py-[0.2rem] transition-colors duration-100 ease-in-out\"\u003eAfter high school, she worked as a secretary and later as a stewardess for Pan American Airlines.\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan class=\"relative -mx-px my-[-0.2rem] rounded px-px py-[0.2rem] transition-colors duration-100 ease-in-out\"\u003eFollowing the death of her first husband in 1964, Clark turned to writing to support her five children, initially penning short stories and radio scripts.\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan class=\"relative -mx-px my-[-0.2rem] rounded px-px py-[0.2rem] transition-colors duration-100 ease-in-out\"\u003eHer breakthrough came with her debut suspense novel, \u003cem data-start=\"53\" data-end=\"78\"\u003eWhere Are the Children?\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Clapping Pages","offers":[{"title":"Used","offer_id":45158198739130,"sku":"2SRTRJBPD-Used","price":19.0,"currency_code":"AED","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0713\/5576\/0826\/files\/TwoLittleGirlsinBlueHardcover_0ccac281-654d-40bd-b8f4-4c5b4f6fef9d.jpg?v=1763054069","url":"https:\/\/clappingpages.com\/products\/two-little-girls-in-blue-3","provider":"Clapping Pages","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
