Publisher's Synopsis
A thrilling adventure about an actress-turned-detective and the murder that shaped her career.
In an America ravaged by the Great Depression, nothing can keep bubbly and confident Beatrice Adams down. Not even the dead body that falls out of her hotel room closet one stormy night in June of 1930. With a power outage and the phone lines down, it's up to Beatrice and her less adventurous cousin to solve the case, and there is no shortage of suspects.
Was it the jealous, grudge-holding coworker who offed poor Holly Albright? Or perhaps the playboy porter with secrets hidden behind his winning smile? And then there's the handsome and helpful doctor who inserts himself all too willingly into the case, putting Beatrice at war with herself. Any one of them could have strangled Holly, and all of them have something to hide. But only one of them is the killer, and the killer is watching Beatrice closely. Can she solve the case before it's too late? Or will the next murder be her own?
