"Men and women, young girls, and innocent children, blotted out by one monster{u2019}s hand; and you, my reader, if you are of a tender and delicate nature, will do well to read no further. Zuretta never though she{u2019}d encounter a monster {u2013} one of the world{u2019}s most notorious serial killers. She had resigned herself to a quiet life in Utah. But when her younger sister, Ruby, travels to Chicago during the World{u2019}s Fair and disappears without a trace, Zuretta leaves home to find her. But 1890s Chicago is more dangerous and chaotic than she imagined. Even with the help of a dashing stranger and a friendly hotel maid, Zuretta doesn{u2019}t know where to start until she learns of her sister{u2019}s last place of employment: a mysterious hotel known as the Castle. Zuretta takes a job there hoping to learn more about her sister{u2019}s final days. And before long, she realizes the hotel isn{u2019}t what it seems. Women disappear at an alarming rate, she hears crying from the walls, and terrifying whispers follow her at night. In the end, she finds herself up against one of the most infamous mass murderers in American history {u2013} and his custom-built death trap." --, Back cover
