A glamorous hotel. A vengeful spirit. A secret with a deadly price.

New York City, December 1933. When Clara Dawson is invited to a New Year’s Eve gala at the Grand Sterling Hotel, she hopes to escape the lingering memories of Hollowfield House and rekindle her fragile connection with Tuck, the one person who makes her question her self-imposed solitude. But beneath the glittering façade of high society, a chilling mystery drags her back into the darkness she thought she’d escaped.

As midnight strikes, the unthinkable happens: a guest is found dead. When a fierce snowstorm traps everyone inside the hotel, tensions among the guests escalate. But the danger in the hotel isn’t confined to the living.

With her own haunted past closing in, Clara must confront a malevolent force that lurks in the shadows, stalking the guests with deadly intent. As more lives hang in the balance, she must unravel the mystery before she’s accused of murder—or becomes the next victim herself.

A DEADLY DECEPTION is the second novel in the Clara Dawson paranormal mystery series. While each book features a standalone mystery, this book does contain major spoilers for the mystery in the first book. For the best listening experience, it’s recommended to listen to the series in order.
