[“Collar” is police jargon for “arrest,” and is used mainly by NYPD and other cops of the region. Hence, a righteous collar is a justified arrest.] It may be used as a noun or a verb, e.g. “I collared him for dealing drugs,” or “He was my collar for possession of drugs.”
STORY 1 - 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.
STORY 2 - 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.

—Nelson DeMille
"Kelter is a master, pure and simple."
—The Kindle Book Review
“Chalice’s acerbic repartee is like an arsenal of nuclear missiles.”
—BookWire Review
"Go, Stephanie!"
—NPR
