Publisher's Synopsis
Burned out fine dining chef, Matt Ferraro has hit rock bottom. After two failed restaurant attempts and a bitter divorce he longs to revive his career, and his personal life. In a last ditch comeback effort he lands a dream job, in the beautiful Ozark Mountains as executive chef of the historic Grand Hotel. With the new position comes the opportunity to win the prestigious, America's Best Historic Hotel Chef award. The honor would give Ferraro a new start in life, opening up limitless new possibilities, including book deals and TV shows. But staying on track to success won't be easy, Ferraro quickly finds out. The haunted Grand Hotel -which profits from nightly ghost tours, and has appeared on several paranormal TV shows -isn't just a marketing gimmick, it's for real. A series of strange and increasingly dangerous events convinces the chef that the hotel is not only haunted, but infested with evil entities, demon possessed co-workers, and the trapped souls of countless murder victims. With the help of a local spiritual shop owner, Raven Whitestar, Matt is able to decipher an ancient cave drawing discovered in a cavern under the hotel. Could a Native American demon named Atashai be responsible for the Grand Hotel's legacy of murder, madness, and cannibalism? Matt and Raven fight for their lives and souls searching for the answers. In their struggle to end this cycle of death, will they begin a new life together?
