Kiss the Girls and Make Them Cry: A Novel
(Adobe EPUB eBook, OverDrive Read)
When investigative journalist Gina Kane receives an email from a "CRyan" describing her "terrible experience" while working at REL, a high-profile television news network, Gina knows she has to pursue the story. But when Ryan goes silent, Gina is shocked to discover the young woman has died tragically in a jet ski accident while on holiday.
Meanwhile, REL counsel Michael Carter finds himself in a tricky spot as several more female employees have come forward with allegations of sexual misconduct. Carter approaches the CEO, offering to persuade the victims to accept settlements in exchange for their silence. It's a risky endeavor, but it could well make him rich.
As more allegations emerge, Carter's attempts to keep the story from making headlines are matched only by Gina Kane's determination to uncover the truth. Was Ryan's death truly an accident? And when another accuser turns up dead, Gina realizes someone—or some people—will go to depraved lengths to keep the story from seeing the light.
"Clark's usual mixture now updated, with surprising and welcome assurance, for a new generation of imperiled women" (Kirkus Reviews).

November 18, 2019
Early in this enjoyable standalone from MWA Grand Master Clark (You Don’t Own Me), New York City investigative reporter Gina Kane checks her email after being away for more than a week in a part of the world without internet service. One email that arrived the day Gina left on her trip is from fellow Boston College grad Cathy Ryan, who has had “a terrible experience” with one of the higher-ups at the headquarters of REL, the global news conglomerate where Cathy works. Cathy wants to meet with Gina to talk about the situation. Cathy doesn’t respond to Gina’s emails, and later Gina discovers that Cathy recently died in an accident while on vacation in Aruba. With the help of Cathy’s family, Gina starts to put together clues that lead her to Brad Matthews, REL’s top newscaster. Meanwhile, Gina’s boyfriend gets the chance to be a part of REL’s initial public offering through his bank, posing a potential conflict of interest, and Gina’s widowed father becomes the romantic target of a woman whose motives she doesn’t trust. No surprise, the good guys prevail, and the bad guys get their just desserts. Clark’s many fans will be more than satisfied. Agent: Bob Barnett, Williams & Connolly.

December 1, 2019
The doyenne of damsels in distress enters the brave new world of #MeToo. Returning from a trip to Hong Kong, investigative journalist Gina Kane is eager to see her boyfriend, banker Ted Wilson, and nearly as eager to hear from CRyan, the mysterious correspondent who'd emailed her about "a terrible experience with one of the higher-ups" at REL News. But Ted has just left on a business trip of his own, and despite Gina's repeated attempts, CRyan doesn't reply. By the time Gina has identified her as Catherine Ryan, she's been killed in a jet ski accident in Aruba. Since Cathy was an old hand at jet skiing whose death seems suspiciously timed, Gina, with the blessing of Geoffrey Whitehurst, the incoming editor at Empire Review, takes off for Aruba, where she satisfies herself that this was no accident. A long flashback to two years earlier shows REL associate producer Lauren Pomerantz reporting to Michael Carter, a lawyer in the news organization's HR department, that venerable anchor Brad Matthews has harassed her and that she's gotten some convincing proof that will put paid to he-said, she-said. The next hundred pages mark a notable stretch for Clark (I've Got My Eyes on You, 2018, etc.), who clearly relishes the opportunity to show a bunch of high-priced lowlifes--Matthews, Carter, CEO Richard Sherman, and Frederick Carlyle Jr., son and heir apparent to REL's founder--scrambling to cover up Matthews' bad behavior without leaving any trace that they're doing so. Back in the present, Gina leans on enough sources to link Cathy Ryan's death to Matthews' serial abuse, but at considerable cost. Her relationship with Ted, who's helping handle REL's move to turn itself into a public corporation, is seriously jeopardized by her sleuthing. She can barely spare the time it takes to fly to Buffalo to check out the bona fides of her recently widowed father's much younger new girlfriend. And savvy readers will realize long before Gina does that one of the conspirators at REL whose wings she plans to clip has ideas about clipping hers first. Clark's usual mixture now updated, with surprising and welcome assurance, for a new generation of imperiled women.COPYRIGHT(2019) Kirkus Reviews, ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.
