A free story. I am so grateful to everyone who reads this blog, my Berlin thriller Blood Summit or my novel-length collection of Seven Hotel Stories.
So I thought I would give away, to everyone who finds their way here, a complete, free Hotel Story: The Two Rooms.
Ms N, the world’s most brilliant, unpredictable and occasionally homicidal hotel manager and her beautiful but naive accomplice, Tatiana, have to deal with an avalanche of problems involving Mr Burke, an unspeakably obnoxious guest; a dodgy Prime Minister on a moral crusade; Ms Gentle, a provider of specialised services for men; a pack of cigar-smoking Russian ice-hockey fans; and a murderous Japanese sushi chef. The story contains a startling twist. Is it my favourite Hotel Story? Perhaps it is.
To receive a free PDF copy of The Two Rooms, please click on the cover below. This is the first edition of the book, published under the writing pseudonym I used when I was a British ambassador. But the text is nearly identical. I hope you enjoy it.

If you like The Two Rooms, you may like to read the complete Seven Hotel Stories. But that’s another story. Six, in fact.
