The Cecil Hotel

Since the magnificent and opulent double-doors opened in 1927, things have not been normal at the Cecil Hotel. Located in the heart of Los Angeles' Skid Row, literally any and everything has happened within and outside the property. Eighteen people have died in or directly outside, two well-known serial killers spent weeks staying there while on killing sprees, and countless odd events have happened baffling all walks of life for almost one-hundred years...and yet the hotel somehow remains. Although the name has been changed, whatever is going on there has not. Eight years have passed since the last death -that of Elisa Lam found in a water tower on the roof- but anyone familiar with this story knows it's only a matter of time before something diabolical happens again. This is a work of historical fiction based on the true events that have occurred at the Cecil Hotel (now known as Stay on Main) since 1927.

From the Inside Flap

This book was clearly used for the popular mini series that recently came out. I received no compensation or acknowledgement, but that's exactly how the business works. No worries. To everyone who's pointed it out, I appreciate your support :-)
