Second Chance

by Lawrence Kelter

Rookie NYPD detective Stephanie Chalice has taken her first life, a righteous kill in the line of duty. When her CO orders her to take time off, Chalice hops a jet to South Beach with her girl pal Tay for a little R&R but soon finds herself caught up in a homicide investigation. Chalice runs afoul of a merciless Jamaican drug lord named Donovan who hunts her across the Florida Everglades. With no jurisdiction and only her wits to rely upon, will Chalice be able to bring the case to a close before Donovan’s noose tightens around her throat?

The Back Stories feature NYPD Detective Stephanie Chalice in the days before you first met her. She’s righteous, rambunctious, and oh so ready . . . for anything. Join her in Second Chance as she makes her bones as a rookie detective.

Another fast paste book for the short trip.

Charlie's on vacation, but she can't just stay away from trouble. Jamaican drug lords, murders too much for her to ignore the sun, beach and ocean. She's one lucky detective to have friends when she needs it.

Loved it!!!!

I'm hooked. Another very good read. Most impressed with the length of his books, was able to read them in just a few days which I like. Not only do I enjoy the length but they are so well written you don't want to put it down. Looking forward to the next book. I've become a Kelter and Chalice fan big time. Can't wait to visit his website to let him know how much I am enjoying his work.
