From the author of: "Illicit and Covert", "The Pink Reich", "Has Been" and several other titles. ---The haunted history of The Hotel Kelly began with two impoverished immigrants who left behind their beloved Ireland to come to America.

The dream of a better life in another land was shared by many and for good reason. Poverty was a way of life had they stayed in their motherland.

They wanted more. Never was there a more ambitious couple.

Big dreams of success seemed attainable to those who were willing to prove themselves. Time and hard work afforded them a hotel of their own.

After years of hard-earned prosperity and social climbing, their life together ended in a suspicious death. ---The years that followed saw numerous owners of the hotel.

Each had a story that was often difficult. From a millionaire whose wife had a big secret to a gangster’s discovery that not all that glitters is gold.

There was the mother whose capacity for love was limitless and the doctor who defied the odds as a woman of color. From a bastion of respite for the formerly enslaved, to a counter culture haven and a hospice for those abandoned by society, The Hotel Kelly saw many incarnations.

Throughout the years, the hotel was invaded by an aura of death from lingering spirits. Great hope was placed in the efforts of a self-professed medium but would torment reign supreme? ---These haunted halls are the setting for an ominous history that follows this vessel of the supernatural.

Eventually, fate transfers its burden to those who don’t fear death. After several decades, souls lost in the afterlife become a draw for those who hail the paranormal.
