Clara doesn't trust the guest in suite 815. Her sister is too busy believing his lies.
It's the holiday season of 1927 at The Hotel Hamilton, Vancouver's grandest new address, and Louisa is dazzled — a theatrical debut, a director's promise of Hollywood, everything she's ever wanted within reach. Clara has her own reasons to worry. She's newly promoted to the eighth floor, where she's learning that not every guest's attention is a gift.
By the time Louisa sees the truth, it may already be too late for the hotel's newest maid. The sisters who couldn't agree on the guest from suite 815 now have to agree on what to do about him.
This isn't a story that rushes to its reckoning — it's one that lets the danger build in quiet moments, until the sisters have no choice but to face it together.
