About The Book:
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 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?

Book Blurbs:
“This book is why the word page-turner was created. 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 disturbing but neatly plotted mystery that would be a welcome addition to any public library collection.” – Library Journal
“Murphy keeps the tension high by skillfully alternating chapters told from the points of view of Val, Terry, and Bridget. Their overlapping stories raise tantalizing questions: how are their lives connected, and might there be an evil spirit lurking on the Franklin Hotel’s 13th floor? Readers will eagerly turn the pages to find out.” – Publishers Weekly
