Welcome to the Hotel Noir, peerless gem of hospitality and sole holder of a Michelin star on the island of St. Germaine.
When the controversial American author Francis Stein is stabbed to death in the hotels environs, the search for his murderer takes islander Bat Manley north to the other half of Steins double life, south to St. Germaines vice-ridden slums, and finally into the realm of the psyche, where the blind see and the dead speak.
A kaleidoscopic striptease of the human soul, Hotel Noir will make you sweat.

A noirish combination of F. Scott Fitzgerald and early P. D. James on steroids, as told by a narrator who knows how to weave a web and pull you in without your realizing that you are caught... an intriguing literary crime novel filled with wonderfully zany characters Agatha Christie would have killed for. NY Journal of Books

Im thoroughly intrigued by this novel, though not necessarily for straightforward reasons. I think what has hooked me is that it doesnt seem like anything else. Casper Silk has a wholly unique voice. Its an entirely bizarre one, too, and Hotel Noir is a dark yet evocative portrait of an island quickly changing, a hotel of another era, and a man caught in the midst.
