Description
The night before an interview with a terrorist, a reporter is killed at the Beaumont Hotel For a madman with an itch to kill someone famous, there could be no better venue than the Beaumont Hotel--Manhattan's headquarters for the international elite. The omniscient manager Pierre Chambrun oversees the landmark, with the help of his press man, Mark Haskell. When the rich and famous arrive, Chambrun and Haskell can help them hide from the limelight or bask in it. But it's difficult to keep a show more low profile when death comes to call. Geoffrey Hammond is one of the world's most respected--and loathed--television journalists. A fearless questioner of presidents and kings, he is in New York preparing an interview with an infamous Middle Eastern terrorist. But when the room service waiter comes to collect his breakfast tray in the morning, the journalist has been strangled. It will take all Chambrun's powers to solve this mystery--especially since the future of the Middle East is at stake. show lessTags

Chambrun is the manager of the most expensive and elegant hotel in New York City, the Hotel Beaumont. In this story, someone is strangling guests with piano wire. Usually I like the Chambrun stories better than Pentecost's other series about the PR man Julian Quist.
