- About Me:
- A resident New Yorker, I often uses Manhattan and Long Island as backdrops for his stories. He has published two novels featuring street savvy NYPD Detective Stephanie Chalice: Don’t Close Your Eyes (2005), and Ransom Beach (2008). BookWire Review wrote of the character, “Chalice’s acerbic repartee is like an arsenal of nuclear missiles.” He has also published an international thriller entitled By Executive Order (2001). Early in his writing career he received support from best selling novelist, Nelson DeMille, who reviewed his work, and actually put pencil to paper to assist in the editing on his first novel. DeMille said of Kelter, “Lawrence Kelter reminds me of an early Robert Ludlum.” He was also a member of a private writer’s group hosted by soap opera legend and former AFTRA president, Ann Loring. His novels are quick paced, and routinely feature twist endings. He is also a screenwriter, who was honored for finishing in the top tier of The Nicholls Fellowship in Screenwriting Competition, hosted by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, for his screenplay Final Dignity (2001). He is currently working on several writing projects including the next Stephanie Chalice thriller. For more info take a peek at www.lawrencekelter.com.

Book Synopsis:
The sleepy town of Newbury, Connecticut, is shocked when a little girl is found brutally murdered. The town s top detective, perplexed by a complete lack of leads, calls in FBI agent Leia Bines, an expert in cases involving children.
Meanwhile, Dr. Peter Gram, a psychiatrist at Newbury s hospital, searches desperately for the cause of seven-year-old Naya Hastings devastating nightmares. Afraid that she might hurt herself in the midst of a torturous episode, Naya s parents have turned to the bright young doctor as their only hope.
The situations confronting Leia and Peter converge when Naya begins drawing chilling images of murder after being bombarded by the disturbing images in her dreams. Amazingly, her sketches are the only clues to the crime that has panicked Newbury residents. Against her better judgment, Leia explores the clues in Naya s crude drawings, only to set off an alarming chain of events.
In this stunning psychological thriller, innocence gives way to evil, and trust lies forgotten in a web of deceit, fear, and murder.
