For hundreds of years, weary travelers have gathered at the fireside of the Skirrid Inn, one of the oldest pubs in Wales. For generations, landlords at the inn left a cup of ale outside overnight as an offering to ward off dark spirits. Upstairs, judges once held court, and it is claimed that more than 180 convicted criminals were hanged on the Skirrid's main staircase, where an executioner's noose still dangles as a grisly reminder.

Death comes in many forms, and medical professionals have seen them all. The first pair of hands to hold us when we enter this world and the last to comfort us when we leave it usually belong to a member of the healing profession. Where one finds death and drama, one also finds ghosts. Small wonder that doctors, nurses, paramedics, and the patients that they treat regularly encounter the spirits of the departed. Sometimes, those spirits are friendly. But not always...

I start all of my true crime books with a quick word of warning. Most news articles and television true crime shows skim over the vile details of truly horrible crimes. In my books, I don’t gloss over the facts, regardless of how disgusting they may be. I try to give my listeners a clear and accurate description on just how demented the killers really were. I do my best not to leave anything out. The stories included in these books are not for the squeamish.

Publisher's Summary
On December 20, 1924, the newest hotel in downtown Los Angeles opened its doors. Catering to businessmen, bankers, theatergoers, and travelers, the Cecil started out as a home away from home for the city's high rollers. Then came the Great Depression.
Times changed, and the hotel found itself in the middle of Skid Row. Awash in a sea of violent crime, drugs, and homelessness, the Cecil gained a dark reputation that remains to this day. Tales of murder, suicide, and serial killers are just one part of the hotel's checkered past. Some also claim that restless spirits haunt the rooms and hallways.
Following the bizarre and tragic death of a young woman, whose body was found floating in a rooftop water tank, the Hotel Cecil once again found itself in the unwelcome limelight of public attention.
Join Richard Estep of TV's Haunted Hospitals and Paranormal 911 in an exploration of this iconic LA landmark's past, present, and future.
