Dear Librarians,

Have you ever wondered how it would feel if someone you loved deeply was in danger and you were powerless to help him? I did, standing at the edge of a lake as I watched my children play in the water.

That was the moment Emily Parker's struggle against a notorious serial killer, bent on disabling her so he could reach her son, was born in my imagination. Before returning home from a family vacation on Cape Cod, Emily makes a quick run to the grocery store—and vanishes.

When FIVE DAYS IN SUMMER was first published in 2004 (pseudonymously as Kate Pepper), it quickly became a USA Today bestseller and then an international bestseller.

Lisa Gardener called it "Mesmerizing."

Publishers Weekly praised its "taut, clean storytelling."

Now FIVE DAYS IN SUMMER has been reissued under my real name in a beautiful new trade paperback edition, along with three other standalone thrillers—all of which are also available as ebooks for the first time.

Please visit my website at www.KatiaLief.com where you will find information about all my novels, including the first two in the new Karin Schaeffer suspense series that were published last fall by HarperCollins; the romantic comedy LOVE, SEX & THE WRONG BRIDE that Publishers Weekly called "Laugh-aloud funny"; SOUL CATCHER, a young adult novel set at a boarding school; and THE RISE & FALL OF ROCKY LOVE, about a young cartoonist and her has-been celebrity boss.

It would be my great honor if you would consider making my books available at your library.
