✦ Synopsis
“Jam-packed with heart stopping suspense.” –Book Fetish
ONE COLD NIGHT SHE DISAPPEARED…
New York Police detective Dave Strauss is haunted by the one case he couldn’t solve. A schoolgirl vanished off the streets of Brooklyn, with only a trail of blood and a series of untraceable phone calls from “the Groom” hinting at her fate. Now the cold dark night has engulfed another young girl—but this time she is part of Dave’s family. He and his wife, Susan, know fourteen-year-old Lisa has not run away, and they know her disappearance is not just a tragic coincidence. And once the first phone call comes, they know she’s not alone….

Review
"Jam-packed with heart stopping suspense. One Cold Night is a book not to be missed." --Book Fetish
"One Cold Night is one of those fast-paced reads, with some wonderful law enforcement characters...a great common-man deconstruction of Nabokov's LOLITA, and--at its core--a heart that cares about the people within its pages." --Bookgasm
"Hits all the right notes with intelligence and compassion in this very taut tale of past mistakes and ruined souls...we can see an author who has much more to offer than the standard suspense." --New Mystery Reader
"We know that when [Katia Lief] writes a book it is going to be a thriller and she does not disappoint the reader with this one. This is an engrossing read that has many twists and turns. Highly recommended." --Mysteries Galore
