The Panthera Hotel - Cochico Village Book 01 (ePub)

My name is Asher Miller, and I'm a private investigator. After my last big case, solving the disappearance of movie star Rosa Delgato, it was time to take a step back. That meant leaving the big, stressful city and returning to Cochico Village, my hometown.

The first impression tourists get is that Cochico Village is a quiet, small town. Well, I know that the village is more than meets the eye. Sometimes strange things happen, but the residents seem not to notice, or they simply are used to it.

Anyway, I intend to take it easy for a while, read a good book, and visit friends. But as things often go, plans change. Charlotte Wilson, one of my dearest friends, goes missing. So, when her father, the governor of New York, calls me for help, I can't refuse.

Then, Detective Declan Campbell, also a village resident, asks for my help because his younger brother is also missing. He exited the plane and disappeared between the airport and the village.

The two missing persons' cases cross, and all the leads point to The Panthera Hotel, which appeared out of the blue. Even though the hotel puts up its defense, I'm tenacious and won't stop until I have figured out the hotel's secret. What I don't know is that the hotel has a rich history, which goes all the way back to 1649. That's when it all started.

But as the case progresses, I encounter ghosts and demons and learn more about myself. Time passes, and I must hurry to save the missing persons. I even travel to the demon realm and the astral plane because I do everything to gather information. Time is running out when the past catches up; it will destroy the hotel and everyone in it.

The hotel took too many lives already because of the curse. I ask myself: will I be able to save all those trapped inside? The hotel again manages to take one life, and another is in grave danger. But is it the hotel that's after him, or someone else? Can I prevent a second murder?
