Featuring a new Jack Reacher story by Andrew Child!

A dangerous drifter, a hired gun, a grisly corpse—you never know who you’ll run into at the Hotel California.

Eight deliciously talented mystery authors have lent their skills of crafting murder and suspense to this collection of gripping short stories. Each of these eight provocative tales is designed to entertain and mystify—and maybe even chill you to your core. Get lost in the wild imaginations of such New York Times bestselling writers as Andrew Child, Heather Graham, Reed Farrel Coleman, and John Gilstrap, plus authors Rick Bleiweiss, Jennifer Graeser Dornbush, Amanda Flower, and Don Bruns. From the titular tale “Hotel California” to an original new Jack Reacher adventure, these stories have a little something for every mystery lover.

Go ahead. Check in, enjoy some room service, and stay until the very last tantalizing page. Just don’t forget to search the closet or behind the curtains.

Favorite Authors, Pithy Stories

An anthology has so little time to draw you into each story, and the economy of words works perfectly here. Jennifer Dornbush brought me to these tales, and each thriller delivered.

Mostly Okay

Most of the stories were relatively good, some better than others, but be warned…the actual Hotel California story was so bad it was almost physically painful.

the variety of stories

some readers lacked stage presentations and were not authentic increasing suspense in the story.

Waste of time

Nothing was good about these weak stories.ended book half way.with five hrs left. Waste time
