The Grand Babylon Hotel

Money can buy anything-even a murder mystery.

When American billionaire Theodore Racksole's daughter is denied a simple steak and beer at London's fiercely aristocratic Grand Babylon Hotel, he does what any self-respecting tycoon would do: he buys the hotel for £400,000 on the spot.

But Racksole soon discovers that he has purchased much more than world-class chefs and silk-lined suites. Within twenty-four hours of taking the reins, the Grand Babylon plunges into chaos. An undercover prince is roaming the halls, a royal equerry is found dead before his corpse mysteriously vanishes, and the impeccable staff seem deeply entangled in a high-stakes continental conspiracy.

Led by Racksole's fiercely independent, revolver-toting daughter, Nella, the impromptu amateur sleuths must race across Europe to unmask a criminal syndicate and find a missing Grand Duke. From the glittering ballrooms of London to the shady waterfronts of Ostend, The Grand Babylon Hotel is a sparkling, twist-filled romp through Edwardian high society.

Lock your doors, trust no waiter, and prepare for an unforgettable stay.
