In a hotel built on secrets, a young maid with a haunted past must unravel a deadly mystery before the walls close in around her forever…
In 1893, Chicago dazzles with the promise of the World's Fair — but beneath the glittering skyline, darker dreams take root. Nineteen-year-old Eliza Hart arrives with nothing but a carpetbag, a bruised heart, and the hope of starting over. Hired as a housemaid at the World’s Fair Hotel under the mysterious Dr. H. H. Holmes, she soon discovers that the labyrinthine halls conceal more than lost keys and dusty linens. Doors lock from the outside. Shadows whisper through the walls. And guests sometimes vanish without a trace.
As suspicion deepens and survival grows precarious, Eliza must navigate a world where obedience is prized, questions are dangerous, and the cost of silence may be her very soul…
Based on the true story of America’s first serial killer, this terrifying novel is perfect for readers of Nita Prose and Simone St. James.
