SHELTON, Conn., Aug. 25, 2004 (PRIMEZONE) -- All Sarah Croton wanted that day was to be alone with her thoughts. Instead, her reverie was interrupted by a strange, desperate man and a mysterious plea that would change her life forever in The Secret Letter (now available through AuthorHouse) by Barbie Klos.
After a tall, thin stranger thrusts a letter in her hands and disappears, Sarah runs to the police, convinced she is being followed. She soon learns her intuition is correct. A killer is on her trail, and with the help of Officer Sean Loshan, she begins a whirlwind flight around the world to escape.
Along the way, Sarah pieces together clues about her sudden, bizarre predicament. She explores caves and tombs, finds hidden treasure and is exposed to a secret about herself that has never been revealed. Her peaceful, simple life has transitioned into an incredible chain of events, and although danger is nipping at her heels, she comes face to face with excitement and romance beyond her wildest dreams.
International law enforcement officers do their best to help as Sarah tries to stay one step ahead of her tormentor, but it turns out there are elements to this case that only she can understand. From New York to Paris to Ireland, Sarah encounters intriguing allies and deadly enemies as she races to solve the mystery that has forever altered her life.
Packed with action and colorful characters, The Secret Letter plunges readers into an exciting escapade they won't soon forget.
Klos lives in Shelton, Conn., where she works in a grocery store. She is the single mother of four children. In addition to writing, Klos plays the guitar and piano. The Secret Letter is her first book and the first of seven that follow Sarah's epic tale.
