Pierre Chambrun Mystery / With Intent to Kill / Hugh Pentecost

A teenager is found murdered and faceless in the pool of the Beaumont Hotel. Manhattan’s charity circles know no better place for a fundraiser than the stately Beaumont Hotel, whose brilliant manager Pierre Chambrun does everything he can to make the Good Samaritans feel at home. After popular singer Stan Nelson completes his annual twenty-four-hour telethon for cancer research, Chambrun is reluctant to wake the singer from his well-deserved sleep. But a murder has occurred in the hotel pool, and that means no good deed will go unpunished. A young man is found floating in the water, his face covered in blood, his pockets empty except for a donation card autographed by Stan. The star swears he doesn’t recognise the body, but as Chambrun and his team unravel the mysteries of the charity, they discover a tangled conspiracy involving sin and religion, and the deadly consequences a good deed can have.
