Hotel Freeze

Shrewd writer Sean Monaghan crafts complex tales filled with curve balls.

Canny private investigator Joe Rivera takes only the toughest jobs. He loves the thrill of the unknown and the challenge of solving the impossible questions. Also, the challenge of staying solvent.

When police captain Lenore Talmager brings Joe in on a case involving a corpse in a tub, Joe jumps at the chance. Working with his former boss delivers unique challenges, and Joe must leverage his every skill, as things fall apart.

Because sometimes the difference between brilliant and goofy can rest on a single word.

Another deft, intense story from Sean Monaghan, author of "The Maker of Gastropods".
