Murder in High Places — Hugh Pentecost

BOOKED FOR DEATH

Larry Welch, a well-known journalist, is sitting on a story so big, it could lead to international disaster--or even war. He seeks sanctuary in New York's luxurious Hotel Beaumont to decide his story's fate, throwing legendary manager Pierre Chambrun into the biggest crisis of his career.

Men in high places want Welch's information. They also want Welch buried along with his secrets. To that end, Betsy Ruysdale, Chambrun's invaluable personal secretary and lifelong friend, is kidnapped. Chambrun is ordered to leave Welch a sitting duck. No cops. No security. Or no more Betsy Ruysdale.

As a reign of terror sweeps the hotel, Chambrun fears he is about to be an accessory to murder. But will it be Welch's or Betsy's?
