Mary Higgins Clark Quote
Are sworn, you will be asked to state your name. I know ‘Lange’ is your stage name. Be sure to tell the jury your legal name is LaSalle. Let’s review your testimony again. You will be asked if you lived with your sister. No, when I left college I got my own apartment. Are your parents living? No, my mother died three years after Leila and I came to New York, and I never knew my father. Now let’s review again your testimony, starting with the day before the murder. I had been out of town for three months with a stock company. . . . I got in on Friday night, March twenty-eighth, just in time to catch the last preview of Leila’s play. How did you find your sister? She was obviously under a terrible strain; she kept forgetting her lines. Her performance was a shambles. Between

About Mary Higgins Clark
Higgins Clark began writing at an early age. After several years working as a secretary and copy editor, she spent a year as a stewardess for Pan-American Airlines before leaving to marry and start a family. She supplemented the family's income by writing short stories. After her husband died in 1964, Higgins Clark worked for many years writing four-minute radio scripts until her agent persuaded her to try writing novels. Her debut novel, a fictionalized account of the life of George Washington, did not sell well, and she decided to exploit her love of mystery/suspense novels. Her suspense novels became very popular, and have sold more than 100 million copies in the United States alone. Her former daughter-in-law Mary Jane Clark is also a writer, as was her daughter Carol Higgins Clark.
