Chicago, circa 1935: A banker is discovered dead in his hotel room, but nothing about the man's death seems to make sense. He'd registered under a false name, asked a complete stranger to swap rooms, and didn't tell his wife, a Chicago-based actress, that he was in town! Enter theater critic and amateur sleuth Riley Blackwood. With a close circle of suspects and a difficult puzzle to solve, Blackwood roams Chicago in search of the truth. The Great Hotel Murder is a fast-paced whodunit with lots of twists and turns, sure to please fans of Golden Age mysteries.
