A locked-room murder mystery set at a hotel for time travelers, in which a detective must solve an impossible crime, even as her own sanity crumbles, from the author of The Warehouse
For someone with January Cole's background, running security at a fancy hotel shouldn't be, much of a challenge.
Except the Paradox is no ordinary hotel. Here, the ultra-wealthy guests are, costumed for a dozen different time-periods, all anxiously waiting to catch their 'flights' to the past. And, proximity to the time port, makes for an interesting stay. The clocks run backwards on occasion, and, rumor has it, ghosts stroll the halls.
Now, January's job is about to get a whole lot harder. Because the US government is getting, ready to privatize time-travel technology, and a handful of trillionaires have just, arrived to put down their bids.
Meanwhile there's a blizzard rolling in, and the time stream’s acting strange. Which means, nobody's leaving, until further notice.
And, there's a murderer on the loose. Or at least, that's what January suspects. Except the corpse in question is, one that somehow, only she can, see. And, the accidents stalking their prestigious guests...well, the only way a killer could engineer those, is by operating invisibly and in plain sight, all at once. Which is, surely impossible.
There's a reason January can glimpse what others can't. But, her ability, is also, destroying her grip on reality, and forcing her, to confront secrets of her own.
Because here at the paradox hotel, the past is waiting around every corner.
