Ransom Beach: Thriller Suspense Series

By Lawrence Kelter

NYPD's street savvy detective Stephanie Chalice is back and not a minute too soon. Her newest nemesis is a con artist and bloodthirsty killer, a chameleon able to change identity at will, a ghost known only as Black. Chalice is called into action when a billionaire's ward, an autistic child, is abducted from beneath the nose of his well-trained bodyguard. Black's reason for choosing this mark is far from obvious. The kidnap victim is no ordinary child; he has never learned to read or write, and yet is capable of channeling the prophecies of his long dead ancestor; those that have long been memorialized, and those now thought to be ages lost. Chalice is put to the test, forced to decipher clues that defy explanation. Will she be able to outthink her diabolical opponent before it's too late?

"Suspenseful to to the very last page. One of my new favorites. Secrets lead to lies and lies to murder in this pulse-pounding mystery with lots of shocking twists."

"Lawrence Kelter is an exciting new novelist, who reminds me of an early Robert Ludlum." -Nelson DeMille
