"Hay's tightly woven plot unfolds at an addictive pace, and the twists come in all the right places." --Publishers Weekly
From the bestselling author of The Housekeepers comes a glossy, dark, page-turning mystery to rival The White Lotus-unfolding over twenty-four fateful hours in London's most lavish hotel.
1926. Diana Gold, owner and impresario, throws open the doors to the most opulent new hotel in London. As the champagne flows and the chandeliers shimmer, millionaires and gamblers rub shoulders with film stars and royalty.
Though, things at the Hotel Artemis aren't quite what they seem--including the two guests Diana expects at midnight. Powerful and dangerous, they've dragged her from the gutter and taught her all she knows. Now Diana must take perfect care of them--unless they take care of her first.
But when a body is found in the hotel's finest suite, the lavish opening night begins to spiral out of control. And over twenty-four fateful hours, the staff and guests of the Artemis will find out why they are really there.
