International bestselling suspense writer Mary Higgins Clark proves she knows how to tell a gripping story with this mystery of a family tragedy and one woman's dangerous quest for the truth.

Editorial Reviews
From Publishers Weekly
Bestseller Clark spins yet another imaginative tale of murder and deceit.

Every Mother's Day over the 10 years since Charles Mack MacKenzie Jr. disappeared from Columbia University just before his graduation, Mack has phoned his mother in Manhattan to let her know he's all right, but otherwise reveals nothing.

In the meantime, Mack's lawyer father has perished in the 9/11 tragedy. Now Mack's younger sister, Carolyn, a graduate of Columbia and Duke Law School, where Mack was intending to go, tells him during his annual call that she's going to find him. When a note from Mack turns up in the collection plate at St. Francis church, asking Father Devon MacKenzie, his uncle, to tell Carolyn not to look for him, she becomes even more determined to do so.

Based on a real story, as Clark notes in her acknowledgments, this novel of suspense will keep readers guessing to the nail-biting conclusion. (Apr.) Copyright © Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.

Playing the Enemy: Nelson Mandela and the Game That Made a Nation



Playing the Enemy: Nelson Mandela and the Game That Made a NationPlaying the Enemy: Nelson Mandela
Author: John Carlin
Format: Softcover





Description:
As the day of the final of the 1995 Rugby World Cup dawned, and the Springboks faced New Zealand’s all-conquering All Blacks, more was at stake than a sporting trophy.

When Nelson Mandela appeared wearing a Springbok jersey and led the all-white, Afrikaner-dominated team in singing South Africa’s new national anthem, he conquered white South Africa.

Mandela’s genius was to transform that which divided black and white South Africa into a force for good.

The green jersey of South Africa’s Springbok rugby team, which whites loved and blacks saw as a detested symbol of racial oppression, became the instrument around which Mandela chose to heal ancient wounds, unite the country and prevent a war. When Mandela stepped onto the field at Ellis Park Stadium, Johannesburg, on the 24th of June 1995 wearing the green and gold jersey, he captured the hearts of white South Africans, forging an unimaginably powerful patriotic bond with their black compatriots
