    About this ebook

    This compendium includes the four following Stephanie Chalice bestsellers:

    Skeletons In The Closet: Secrets don't stay buried for very long, not with Detective Stephanie Chalice on the trail. When an act of cowardice and greed resurfaces it spells disaster for a rich and powerful Manhattan family. Their infant son has been abducted and no ransom demand has been put forward. Is the basis for this crime money or retribution? You can lay odds that Chalice will get to the bottom of it before anyone else.
    Join Chalice on the first of her new monthly City Beat Thrillers, guaranteed to jump-start your heart each and every time. Chalice, Lido, and Ma are back in force and they're just as righteous and rambunctious as ever.

    We All Fall Down: Rodrigo is dead or so the police have been led to believe. A hunt for the drug lord/cop killer was called off when he was presumed burned to death in a warehouse fire. Chalice is called in when the infamous kingpin is ID'd at The Tableau, a swanky uptown bar. A woman has been murdered and the killers have been pinned down by the police while attempting to make good their escape. Is it the real Rodrigo Lopez or is it a ghost? More surprising still—why commit a murder in front of a hundred witnesses? Only Chalice has what it takes to put all the incongruous pieces together. 

    Ashes To Ashes: "He didn't do it." When Adele Clarke came to plead her son's case everyone turned a deaf ear, everyone except Chalice. She'd heard it all before and still she listened. A mother's desperate plea—her innocent son serving time—a case no one would dare talk about. There was something in her account that didn't make sense, something Chalice couldn't let go of—and yet, eight women and children were dead, gunned down in one of the worst mass killings the city had ever seen.

    Not far from the scene of the murders two crime families are still licking their wounds in the aftermath of the botched LaGuardia Heist, and an embroiled police commissioner will do anything to avoid disgrace. 

    With reasonable doubt now established in Chalice's mind, she fights to reopen this toxic file, and painstakingly labors to recreate the chilling sequence of events leading to the identity of the true cold-blooded killers.

    Where The Truth Leads: Like a grizzly that's already conquered its prey, Chalice's teeth are firmly embedded in an investigation to free a man who has been unjustly imprisoned. She's been ordered to stand down, to walk away from the very inquiry she began. Puzzled and angry, Chalice ponders why the police commissioner would pull her from a case she's better suited to resolve than anyone else on the force. 

    To divert her focus, her CO has assigned her to a new case. She now pursues a villain who's slain women in different locations across the country and has now claimed a victim on Chalice's turf. The bulldog cop is torn between her new case and the innocent man she is sure will never be set free, a travesty she cannot abide. With her career on the line Chalice struggles to find a solution to both cases.

    Author

    Lawrence Kelter

    I never expected to be a writer. In fact, I was voted the student least likely to visit a library. (Don’t believe it? Feel free to check my high school yearbook.) Well, times change I suppose, and I have now authored several novels including the internationally best-selling Stephanie Chalice Thriller Series. Early in my writing career, I received support from none other than best-selling novelist, Nelson DeMille, who reviewed my work and actually put pencil to paper to assist in the editing of the first book. DeMille has been a true inspiration to me and has also given me some tough love. Way before he ever said, “Lawrence Kelter is an exciting new novelist, who reminds me of an early Robert Ludlum,” he told me, “Kid, your work needs editing, but that’s a hell of a lot better than not having talent. Keep it up!” I’ve lived in the Metro New York area most of my life and rely primarily on locales in Manhattan and Long Island for my stories’ settings. I try very hard to make each novel quickly paced and crammed full of twists, turns, and laughs. Enjoy! LK
