Murder at the Galvez

Eighteen years after discovering the murdered body of her grandfather in the foyer of the historic Galvez Hotel, reporter Sydney Lockhart returns to Galveston, Texas to cover a story. Instead, she finds herself embroiled in a murder mystery.
Something fishy is going on in Galveston, Texas, and Sydney is smack dab in the middle of it when she checks into the historic Galvez Hotel, a place that stirs her most uncomfortable memories. She's there to cover the controversial Pelican Island Development Project conference, but soon after her arrival, the conference is canceled, the keynote speaker is missing, and a body turns up in the truck of Sydney's car. Next, Sydney's hauled to the police station for questioning.
As if this wasn't bad enough, just a few blocks from the hotel at her parents' home, people are gathering, sparks are flying, another controversial event is in the planning, one that just might rival the Great Storm of 1900.
Sydney is helped and obstructed by her cousins, Ruth and Marcela, and Dixon, her beloved partner-in-solving-crime. But ultimately it's up to Sydney, armed with wit and bravado (and Dixon's .45), who must discover who killed the man in the trunk and why her father's new friend is floating face-down in a fish tank with a bullet in his head. Her father's odd behavior and the anonymous threatening notes delivered to her hotel room lead Sydney to suspect that her grandfather's unsolved murder and the present murders might be connected.
A sassy Who-Done-It with an enthralling cast of characters.
