NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER

She's back! After more
than two decades, Judith Singer, the heroine of Compromising Positions,
returns in a rollicking new novel sure to delight Susan Isaacs's millions of
readers

Some twenty years
after Compromising Positions, Judith Singer again gets involved in
murder and mayhem. But her life has changed. She now has her doctorate in
history. Her workaday hours are spent at St. Elizabeth’s College, mostly
squandered in history department shriek-fests. She is also a widow. Her husband
Bob died one half-day after triumphantly finishing the New York City Marathon
in four hours and twelve minutes. And although twenty years have passed without
seeing him, she still cannot get her former lover, Nelson Sharpe of the Nassau
County Police Department, out of her system.

With Courtney Logan’s
dramatic disappearance, all eyes turn instantly toward her husband, Greg Logan,
son of Long Island mobster Philip “Fancy Phil” Lowenstein. But since there is
no body, there is no arrest. Then, in the less-than-merry month of May, Judith
comes home from work, turns on the radio, and hears the Logans’ pool man
telling a reporter that he opened the pool and found . . . a raccoon? Not
quite. The woman in the pool turns out to be Courtney, and now it’s officially
homicide. And Judith comes alive! She offers her services to the police’s chief
suspect, Greg Logan, but he shows her the door, thinking her just another
neighborhood nut. But his father isn’t so sure: Fancy Phil may have other plans
for her.

Long Time No See is Susan Isaacs at
her wickedly observant best. With razor-sharp wit and an irresistible mystery,
she brings us back in touch with an engaging, endearing and irreverent heroine
we haven’t seen in far too long.
