Christine Harper thought she had been selected to run a luxury hotel in Savannah. She never wondered what she had really been selected for. After a career-ending tragedy in Washington, D.C., managing the Luxury Inn feels like the second chance Christine needs. Then, on her first day, she opens Room 318. A young woman lies dead in the bathtub. No one can verify her identity. The room has been meticulously cleaned. And thirteen minutes are missing from every surveillance camera in the hotel. Someone erased them. Christine should call the police, cooperate, and stay out of the investigation. Instead, she makes one dangerous mistake: she takes a photograph from the crime scene. Now she knows something she was never meant to know. A body cannot be moved through a luxury hotel crowded with tourists, wedding guests, and cell phones. But beneath the chandeliers and marble floors lies another Savannah—a network of forgotten passages and sealed doors buried beneath the city. Christine goes underground to protect the hotel’s reputation. Then she realizes someone has been there recently. The photograph leads to a message—and a name that keeps appearing where it shouldn’t: FORSYTH. When the same word surfaces around another young woman, coincidence becomes impossible to believe. Christine searches the hotel’s reservations, access logs, guest histories, key-card records, and security footage. What she finds should not exist. Altered guest files. Key-card activity that leads nowhere. Missing video. And an administrator account with the hotel’s highest level of access— officially belonging to no one. Then Christine uncovers another woman. Another stay at the Luxury Inn. Another trail of impossible anomalies. Years earlier. The question is no longer what happened in Room 318. It is how long has this been happening? Someone can move through the hotel without leaving a trail. Someone can change what the hotel remembers—who checked in, which doors opened, and what the cameras recorded. And someone knows Christine is looking. As the warnings mount, the polished world of the Luxury Inn begins to resemble a carefully constructed illusion. Room 318 wasn’t the beginning. The dead woman wasn’t the first connection. And the Luxury Inn may not simply be where it happened. It may be part of it. SELECTED is an atmospheric Savannah thriller about buried secrets, hidden systems, and one woman’s dangerous search for the truth.
