Murder at the Universe
Craig’s debut novel starts with a
big bang when Trevor Lambert, dedicated manager of the luxurious
Universe Hotel in New York, stumbles upon the dead body of
the hotel’s
beloved owner, Willard Godfrey, in the hotel parking lot,
the apparent victim of a hit-and-run accident. When police
suggest alcohol was involved and a hotel executive may be responsible,
cantankerous VIP guest Brenda Rathberger, executive director
of the Victims of Drunk Drivers conference, uses the controversy
to grandstand her cause. She joins forces with celebrated TV
anchor Honica Winters, who exposes the executives’ reckless
behavior on national television. Meanwhile, fearing that Godfrey’s
party-girl daughter will step into the role, Trevor and his
colleagues vie for the position of general manager. In the
resulting clash among pampered guests, harried employees and
militant protesters, Trevor struggles to find the killer, to
charm lovely duty manager Nancy Swinton, and to save the dignity
of the Universe.
