In the second book in the New York Times bestselling mystery series, Veronica Mars is back with a case that will expose the hidden workings of one of Neptuneās most murderous locations.
The Neptune Grand has always been the seaside townās ritziest hotel, despite the shady dealings and high-profile scandals that seem to follow its elite guests. When a woman claims that she was brutally assaulted in one of its rooms and left for dead by a staff member, the owners know that they have a potential powder keg on their hands. They turn to Veronica to disproveāor proveāthe woman's story.

Add in the facts that the attack happened months ago, the victimās memory is fuzzy, and there are holes in the hotelās surveillance system, and Veronica has a convoluted mess on her hands. As she works to fill in the missing pieces, it becomes clear that someone is lyingābut who? And why?
