1917. The Lotus Hotel offers sanctuary for its exclusively female clientele, attracting the cream of London's society. But a dead body found in one of its rooms is hardly good for business, and when it is discovered that the woman was neither a guest nor a member of staff, the Lotus's reputation as a safe haven is cast in doubt.

Inspector Marmion and Sergeant Keedy are dispatched to look into the events at the hotel and soon suspect foul play. Tangling with a forgetful widower, a wily competitor, and the haughty hotel owner, the pair will have to delve into the past to solve this crime in the present.

The Unseen Hand by Edward Marston intricately weaves suspense and mystery, pulling the reader into a gripping tale set in a turbulent era.
