MAITLAND, FL— Terry Stanley’s new book, IT WAS A NIGHT SUCH AS THIS: A Thriller, ($18.99, paperback, 9781628714111; $28.99, hardcover, 9781628714128; $9.99, e-book, 9781628714135) is a mystery and suspense novel that details one family's harrowing ordeal when one of their children is kidnapped while vacationing in Stone Harbor, New Jersey. The suspicion only grows as the case begins to unearth potential accomplices and hidden motives connected to the disappearance. Throughout the story, the significance of dreams cannot be dismissed, for God speaks, first in one way and then in another, but no one notices.

“No matter how far one has fallen from grace, the chance to make it right is only a heartbeat away,” states the author. “If that chance to make it right is not taken, so are the consequences if that same heart suddenly stops beating. Biblical principles are demonstrated throughout the story in such a way that the necessity of standing atop a soapbox is not needed.”

When asked about specific credentials in authoring IT WAS A NIGHT SUCH AS THIS, Terry Stanley shared, “Ever since I was a child, I loved reading mystery stories and writing poetry. Then, as a teenager, I attempted to write my own mystery story, but could never get past the first paragraph. Then one day, years later, while my family and I were vacationing in our favorite place, Stone Harbor, a scene started to play out before my very eyes: A dark and foggy night—an angry ocean—mystery in the air. This entire scene prompted me to build a story around it. The result was It Was a Night Such as This.”
