Anthony Award-winner Hilary Davidson weaves a thrilling
story of paranoia, vengeance, and murder with Evil in All
Its Disguises.
When travel writer Lily Moore joins a group of journalists
for an all-expenses-paid press junket to Acapulco, Mexico,
she expects sun, sand, and margaritas. Instead, she finds
that the Mexican city, once the playground of Hollywood
stars, is a place of faded glamour and rising crime. Even
the luxurious Hotel Cerón, isolated from the rest of the
town, seems disturbing to her, with its grand, empty rooms,
ever-watchful staff, and armed guards patrolling the grounds.
Lily isn’t the only one who suspects something rotten under
the hotel’s opulent facade. Skye McDermott, another
journalist on the trip, asks Lily for help with an article
she’s working on about fraud and corruption in the hotel
industry. Skye claims she’s eager to write a piece of real
journalism rather than the fluff she’s known for. But she
also lets slip that she’s deeply upset at a lover who jilted
her, and she plans to exact her revenge by exposing his
company’s illegal activities.
After Skye disappears suddenly, Lily suspects that her
friend is in grave danger. But the hotel’s staff insists
that everything is fine and refuses to contact the police.
Only after Lily tries—and fails—to leave the Hotel Cerón
does she discover the truth: the journalists are prisoners
in a gilded cage.
Too late, Lily realizes that she has been maneuvered into
the role of bait in a vicious, vengeful plot. Faced with
unthinkable choices, Lily must summon all her strength to
survive, confront the past she’s still running from, and
save other lives.
