To Wake the Dead: Dr Gideon Fell, Book 9

Christopher Kent, worth a quarter of a million pounds yet not a penny in his pocket, stands hungrily in Piccadilly one snowy morning looking up at the huge hotel when a piece of card bearing a number floats down to him.

He enters the hotel and is served with breakfast, giving the waiter the room number to charge. Then an unlucky chance compels him to go up to room 707. Inside a woman lies murdered in a trunk. Kent needs to prove his innocence fast and calls Dr Gideon Fell to investigate - but there’s been another murder, and Dr Fell must figure out what connects them.
