One hotel. Fourteen guests. And a killer who won't let them leave.
When a billionaire vanishes and a gruesome domestic crime shocks Athens, Hellenic Police Captain Costa Papacosta and Lieutenant Ioli Cara are drawn into their most dangerous case yet. At the centre of it all stands a luxury hotel with secrets of its own.
Inside, police officers Alexandro and Valentina are trapped with fourteen guests. One by one, the numbers fall-14... 13... 12...-as the body count rises and the walls close in. With lives on the line and chaos spreading across the Aegean, Papacosta and Cara must race to uncover the truth before no one escapes alive.
Hotel Murder is the gripping conclusion to the Greek Island Mystery series, perfect for fans of high-stakes crime fiction, locked-room suspense, and Mediterranean murder mysteries with a deadly twist.
