In 1949, a gruesome murder shakes the small town that’s home to the notorious Aztec Hotel, once a Prohibition-era den for gamblers, drinkers, and sexual deviants. A mysterious killer dubbed the “Flower Arranger” mixes and matches the body parts of three victims―Violet, Rose, and Lily―in a grotesque display before vanishing into thin air, leaving the mystery unsolved for decades.

Now, over 70 years later, the owners of the Aztec Hotel claim to have solved the case and promise to reveal the killer’s true identity to anyone who takes their special tour. Laney Gennaway, new to town and curious about the infamous local attraction, decides to join this once-in-a-lifetime tour but soon finds that someone―or something―will go to deadly lengths to keep the secret hidden forever, no matter the cost.

Catch the killer in this twisted thriller from Edgar Award-nominated Duane Swierczynski, the NYT bestselling author of over a dozen novels such as the highly acclaimed California Bear, Secret Dead Men, and the Charlie Hardie series, as well as his co-authored work with James Patterson including the Audible Original The Guilty (starring John Lithgow and Bryce Dallas Howard), private eye thriller Lion & Lamb and the newly released bestseller Billion Dollar Ransom.

The tour is focused on a famous unsolved case from 1949―the so-called “FLOWER ARRANGER” who mixed and matched the body parts of his three victims (Violet, Rose, and Lily) at the Aztec Hotel before vanishing into thin air.

Laney is fascinated as the lurid details of case unfold, but quickly realizes that her new friend Preston has a personal connection to the murders: his older sister was LILY BAILEY, the third victim.
