Synopsis

Twenty floors above the shimmering lights of the Hamburg docks, Public Prosecutor Chastity Riley is celebrating a birthday with friends in a hotel bar when twelve heavily armed men pull out guns, and take everyone hostage. Among the hostages is Konrad Hoogsmart, the hotel owner, who is being targeted by a man whose life – and family – have been destroyed by Hoogsmart’s actions. With the police looking on from outside – their colleagues’ lives at stake – and Chastity on the inside, increasingly ill from sepsis, the stage is set for a dramatic confrontation and a devastating outcome for the team…all live streamed in a terrifying bid for revenge.

"Hotel Cartagena" by Simone Buchholz is the fourth book in the Chastity Riley series to be published by Orenda in the UK. It's the first I've read (I now want to read them all!) and works well as a standalone. First off, the cover design is fabulous! Please pause and take a moment to admire it… Now......more
