Mary Higgins Clark was born and raised in New York. It was only after she married that she started to write short stories; some years and many rejections later, she sold her first story for $100. After the death of her late husband, she turned to writing novels, and began to enjoy international success with the publication of Where are the Children? - her first suspense novel. The many novels she has written since are world-wide bestsellers.
