The new novel that Sidney Sheldon's millions of fans all over the world have been waiting for. And, like his sixteen previous books, it is destined for a top place on bestseller lists everywhere. The Sky is Falling contains all the elements which make Sidney Sheldon's works impossible to put down: power, money, greed, lust, corruption...and a strong female central character. In this instance it is a TV anchorwoman from Washington DC. All her investigative instincts tell her that a brutal series of murders are linked -- and she travels the world to prove it.

As readers navigate the twists and turns of the plot, they'll know they must anticipate the unexpected -- Sidney Sheldon's hallmark. And they won't be disappointed.
This is the first Sidney Sheldon book I’ve read. It was good — reminded me of a Mary Higgins Clark book, really. The only issue I really had was where she is flying all over the place, investigating, and her employers don’t even really question her about it. But, maybe that’s how it is. I also thought the “boyfriend’s ex-wife” subplot was pretty superfluous. In fact, the boyfriend himself was pretty superfluous. But, I’d read more of his books.
