When her sister is found dead in a Baltimore hotel room, reporter Val Ritter's world is turned upside down. An empty pill bottle at the scene leads the police to believe the cause of death is suicide. With little more than her own conviction, Val teams up with Terry Martin, a retired detective who has his own personal interest in the case, to prove that something more sinister is possible.

In 1921, Bridget Wallace, a guest on the brink of womanhood, is getting ready to marry an eligible older man. But what seems like a comfortable match soon takes a dark turn. Does the illustrious history of the stately Franklin hotel hide another, lesser-known history of death?

Val and Terry must navigate a web of lies and secrets as they investigate the case, encountering a cast of characters who all have something to hide. From the hotel's enigmatic manager to Bridget's estranged husband, each person has their own motivations and agendas, and Val and Terry must be careful not to become pawns in their games.

As they dig deeper into the case, Val and Terry begin to uncover a network of corruption and deception that stretches all the way to the top of the city's political establishment. They discover that Bridget's death was not just a suicide, but a murder orchestrated by those who wanted to keep their secrets hidden.

With time running out, Val and Terry must race against the clock to bring the killers to justice before they strike again. They must rely on their own instincts and the help of a few trusted allies to uncover the truth and bring the culprits to justice.

In the end, Val and Terry are able to expose the truth and bring the killers to justice. Bridget's death is not just a tragedy, but a warning to all who would seek to exploit the innocent and cover up their crimes. The case serves as a reminder that the truth will always come out, no matter how deep the lies and secrets may be.
