Time of Terror — Hugh Pentecost

TRICK OR TREAT The elegant calm of New York's top luxury hotel is shattered when the mysterious Colonel Coriander arrives. Wearing fright wig and mask, the one-armed terrormonger has planted bombs throughout the building and is holding two small girls hostage. And he's always one crucial step ahead of Hotel Beaumont's legendary manager, Pierre Chambrum. Coriander's outrageous demands are quite impossible to meet. Chambrum's only chance is to outwit the very clever colonel at his own game--as minutes become seconds in the countdown to terror.
