The Hitman's Daughter

WHEN BLOOD SPILLS AT MIDNIGHT, THERE IS NO ESCAPING THE SINS OF THE PAST...

The Château du Ciel was once the destination for the rich and famous to play, drink and ski-complete with a private railway to shuttle those desiring extra luxury. Now, however, the guests are few and far between. The New Year's Eve party is supposed to hoist the rundown hotel back to its former status, until a massive blizzard hits, trapping the guests who've come to celebrate the grand hotel's last hurrah. The circumstances might even be romantic, if the Château wasn't reputed to be haunted.

When hotel employee Mave Michael finds the resident artist dead, and shortly thereafter security discovers Mave alone with the body, the reputation that Mave has fought long and hard to outrun comes back to haunt her: her father is an incarcerated hitman serving multiple-life sentences. She has changed her name and location dozens of times, but he somehow manages to track her down-even sending her a postcard on the eve of her birthday, January 1st. She's the perfect choice to frame for murder, and now the number one suspect. Mave can no longer deny the lessons in survival her father taught her, or her uncanny sixth-sense for finding lost objects. To save herself, she not only has to stop running from her own past, she must unearth the history of the hotel, its elite guests and buried secrets-one deadly sin at a time.
