January Coleâs job just got a whole lot harder.
Not that running security at the Paradox was ever really easy. Nothingâs simple at a hotel where the ultra-wealthy tourists arrive costumed for a dozen different time periods, all eagerly waiting to catch their âflightsâ to the past.
Or where proximity to the timeport makes the clocks run backward on occasionâand, rumor has it, allows ghosts to stroll the halls.
None of that compares to the corpse in room 526. The one that seems to be both there and not there. The one that somehow only January can see.
On top of that, some very important new guests have just checked in. Because the U.S. government is about to privatize time-travel technologyâand the worldâs most powerful people are on hand to stake their claims.
January is sure the timing isnât a coincidence. Neither are those âaccidentsâ that start stalking their bidders.
Thereâs a reason January can glimpse what others canât. A reason why sheâs the only one who can catch a killer whoâs operating invisibly and in plain sight, all at once.
But her ability is also destroying her grip on realityâand as her past, present, and future collide, she finds herself confronting not just the hotelâs dark secrets but her own.
At once a dazzlingly time-twisting murder mystery and a story about grief, memory, and what it means toâliterallyâcome face-to-face with our ghosts, The Paradox Hotel is another unforgettable speculative thrill ride from acclaimed author Rob Hart.
