Dr. Jonathan Lyons  a seventy-year-old biblical scholar  believes he has found the rarest of

in the fifteenth century  it was assumed to be lost forever. Under the promise of secrecy 
Jonathan attempts to confirm his findings with several other biblical experts. But on the eve
before his own murder  he confides to Father Aiden O'Brien  a family friend  that one of those
whom he trusted most is determined to keep it from being returned to the Vatican. The next
evening Jonathan Lyons is found shot to death in his New Jersey home. His daughter 
twenty-seven year old Mariah  finds her father's body sprawled over his desk in his study  a
fatal bullet wound in the back of his neck  and her mother  Kathleen  an Alzheimer's victim 
hiding in the study closet  incoherent and clutching the murder weapon. The police suspect that
Kathleen  who in her lucid moments knows that Jonathan was involved with a much younger woman
Lily Stewart  has committed the murder. But Mariah believes that the key to her father's death
is tied to another question: Where is the missing parchment? Whom  among his close circle of
friends  might he have consulted? And did one of them kill to keep possession of the letter?
With all the elements that have made her a worldwide bestseller  Mary Higgins Clark's The Lost
Years is at once a breathless murder mystery and a hunt for what may be the most precious
religious and archaeological treasure of all time.
