Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)In 1892, a young woman checked into San Diego's finest luxury resort, the Hotel del Coronado. Acting strangely from the first, she increasingly attracted the mystified attention and sympathy of the hotel staff who watched her deteriorate physically and emotionally. Four days later, after the most violent storm in memory, she was found dead on the stairs outside the hotel. Beside her lay a handgun, and in her right temple was a bullet wound. She was never definitively identified, and the reasons for her stay, and her larger concerns, were never established. She remains forever "the Beautiful Stranger" whose ghost haunts the great hotel to this day. Ghostly events involving her are frequent, and often result in a sudden move (a "dead move") by occupants of her room, who are terrorized by flickering lights and curtains blowing when windows are closed, and other phenomena. The Heritage Department of the hotel has done a superb job putting this well-illustrated book together from various official records. I have found this book very useful in putting together a novel entitled "Dead Move: Sherlock Holmes and the Haunting Mystery of Coronado" (Clockower Books, 2007).
