Crime & Suspense

A January 2023 Once Upon a Book Club Pick

"You'll get nothing done until you've reached the end of this excellent book." ―Lisa Regan, USA Today and WSJ bestselling author of the Detective Josie Quinn series

"[A] riveting tale . . ." ―Library Journal

She wanted the truth. She should have known better.

When her sister is found dead in a Baltimore hotel room, reporter Val Ritter's world is turned upside down. An empty pill bottle at the scene leads the police to believe the cause of death is suicide. With little more than her own conviction, Val teams up with Terry Martin, a retired detective who has his own personal interest in the case, to prove that something more sinister is possible.

In 1921, Bridget Wallace, a guest on the brink of womanhood, is getting ready to marry an eligible older man. But what seems like a comfortable match soon takes a dark turn. Does the illustrious history of the stately Franklin hotel hide another, lesser known history of death?
