The Kate Morgan story is truly an enigma, a 'riddle of the sands.' It is a mystery full of riddles, or a riddle filled with mystery. On Thanksgiving Day, 1892, a beautiful and graceful young woman checked in alone at the Hotel del Coronado near San Diego, California. Five days later, she was found dead of a gunshot wound to the head on the back steps of the hotel. To begin recounting the enigma: she had checked in under a false name (Lottie A. Bernard), and authorities were never able to determine with 100% assurance who she really was. Several identifications were made and discarded. Meanwhile, her story was elevated to hysteria in the national press. She was touted as an angel, a 'Beautiful Stranger,' who had been brought low by some man. Then rumors began to circulate that she had been involved in dark and illicit shenanigans with the city's power elite--but nobody could pin down where those sordid and dangerous circles might spin. More than a century later, the complex web of mystery and intrigue continues to baffle investigators. Here is a book of fiction that tries to crack the code in a speculative and imaginative manner, entertaining yet based on true facts.
