About This Book
A luxurious London hotel that prides itself on order and style becomes the scene of escalating intrigue when an ostentatious millionaire and his companion arrive while a fugitive royal and various mysterious visitors circulate through its suites. Staff members and managers maneuver to preserve the house's reputation even as revolvers, secret rooms, a wine-cellar confrontation, a high-speed water escape, and a nighttime pursuit expose hidden loyalties and criminal plots. The narrative traces investigations, confessions, and shifting alliances among guests and servants, interweaving social manners, institutional hierarchy, and suspense until a final resolution at sea.
