One of the hundred books a year I read:

International, best-selling author Columbia Jones’s latest book tour is a smashing success until a man stands in the audience. Columbia stares at him and faints. In the chaos, the unidentified man disappears. Later that night, Columbia is murdered in her hotel room.

With Columbia’s tight security, only those closest to her could have gained access to her room. Like up-and-coming journalist Riley Carrington who has grown close to her during the tour because she is writing a big article. Or Darian, Columbia’s daughter who manages the business side of Columbia and was arguing with her mother just before the murder. Or Mason Bader, the security expert always near. Or Kira Hutchinson, the fan who scored a VIP pass to meet Columbia that final event.

Detective Hutchison of the Denver PD wades through his potential list of suspects, but has a particular challenge. The hotel’s recording of the security cameras were mysteriously erased.

But that’s not all that is missing. Columbia Jones’s own life is shrouded in mystery. Is the past in her biography really who she is? Or is a long held secret the key to solving her murder?
