The Hotel Detective

"Cleverly crafted and enormously enjoyable."-Ellery Queen Mystery Magazine When the security director of the posh Hotel California abruptly departs, assistant manager Am Caulfield steps into the role. The newbie hotel detective is quickly overwhelmed when a murder-mystery weekend descends on the hotel at the same time as a Bob Johnson convention (yes, the attendees are all named Bob Johnson)-and that's before a bra thief strikes, a contractor leaps to his death, and two more dead bodies turn up. Mayhem has checked in to the Hotel California. So, as it turns out, has a murderer. Like the little Dutch boy, Am must try and plug one leak after another. Will he be able to get the job done before yet another hotel guest checks out forever? "Recommended with absolutely no reservations."-Orange County Register "Exuberantly entertaining."-Denver Post "This witty novel is the next best thing to spending a weekend in a posh hotel."-Southbridge Evening News
