Hotel Paradise

By Vernon Dewhurst

Paris, 1944. The Germans are gone, but their secrets remain.

When Manon arrives at the Hotel Paradise, she inherits more than a shuttered building on the Canal Saint-Martin-she inherits a story. Her aunt has been killed. The rooms are abandoned, bullet-scarred, still holding the scent of German cologne and betrayal.

Only Simon, her aunt's enigmatic employee, knows what happened here during the Occupation. He knows about the Gestapo officers who made the hotel their playground. About the dreaded General Knochen and the men who answered to him. About the women who served them-and the terrible price of survival.

As Manon unlocks the hotel's closed doors, she discovers that liberation hasn't ended with the war. Someone is still watching. Still waiting. And the most dangerous question isn't what happened during the Occupation-it's who will be made to pay for it now.

A gripping tale of complicity, vengeance, and the thin line between collaboration and survival in the shadow of the Gestapo.
