“Only a monster can do this kind of evil thing” 

On the morning of July 12, 2009, in the Rye Brook Hilton Hotel, May Abad receives a frantic call from hotel security, urging her to rush to her parents’ suite. As she races down the hallway, her mother, Narcy Novack’s, screams cut through the silence—her father, Ben Novack Jr., millionaire and heir to Miami’s famous Fontainebleau hotel, has been brutally murdered. Now, May is on a desperate hunt for the truth. But what she doesn’t realize is that the killer is much closer than she ever imagined.
