A killer stalks the halls of the luxurious Pinnacle Hotel—and only its agoraphobic heiress can bring them to justice—in this historical cozy mystery set in 1950s New York City! “It’s as if Eloise is all grown up and a sassy, savvy sleuth at the Plaza hotel . . . a delightful Golden Age mystery.” —Rhys Bowen, New York Times–bestselling author It’s 1958 and Evelyn Elizabeth Grace Murphy has not left the Pinnacle Hotel in 14 months. She suffers from agoraphobia, and what’s more, it’s her father’s hotel, and everything she needs is there. Evelyn’s always been good at finding things, she discovered her mother dead in a Manhattan alleyway 15 years earlier. Now she’s finding trouble inside her sanctuary. At a party for artist Billie Bell, his newest work is stolen, and Evelyn’s fake boyfriend (and real best friend), movie star Henry Fox, is accused of the theft. But just as Evelyn sets out to prove Henry’s innocence, she finds Billie Bell dead. The murder weapon links the crime to the hotel’s chief of security. But why would he use a knife with his initials on the handle? With her beloved home in disarray, Evelyn joins up with hotel employee (and her secret crush) Mac Cooper to get to the bottom of the case. Evelyn’s knack for sleuthing—and her playful imagination—are always hard at work, and she throws an elaborate party at the hotel where every guest is a suspect. But will the killer emerge from the glamorous lineup? If not, Evelyn just might find herself . . . next in line for murder.
