Nothing's simple at a hotel where the ultra-wealthy tourists arrive costumed for a dozen different time periods, all eagerly waiting to catch their \"flights\" to the past. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eOr where proximity to the timeport makes the clocks run backward on occasion--and, rumor has it, allows ghosts to stroll the halls. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eNone of that compares to the corpse in room 526. The one that seems to be both there and not there. The one that somehow only January can see. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eOn top of that, some very important new guests have just checked in. Because the U.S. government is about to privatize time-travel technology--and the world's most powerful people are on hand to stake their claims. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eJanuary is sure the timing isn't a coincidence. Neither are those \"accidents\" that start stalking their bidders. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThere's a reason January can glimpse what others can't. A reason why she's the only one who can catch a killer who's operating invisibly and in plain sight, all at once. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBut her ability is also destroying her grip on reality--and as her past, present, and future collide, she finds herself confronting not just the hotel's dark secrets but her own. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAt once a dazzlingly time-twisting murder mystery and a story about grief, memory, and what it means to--literally--come face-to-face with our ghosts, \u003ci\u003eThe Paradox Hotel\u003c\/i\u003e is another unforgettable speculative thrill ride from acclaimed author Rob Hart.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eRob Hart\u003c\/b\u003e is the author of \u003ci\u003eThe Warehouse\u003c\/i\u003e and the Ash McKenna crime series, and he co-wrote Scott Free with James Patterson.
