REMEMBER TO KILL ME

by Hugh Pentecost ‧ RELEASE DATE: July 1, 1984

Another crisis at Manhattan's Beaumont Hotel--where three VIPs and the hotel's cabaret singer are being held hostage in a 22nd floor suite. The ransom demand? The release of eight South American prisoners around the world--or else the hostages will be dropped from the windows. . . and the hotel will be bombed. So manager Pierre Chambrun (Murder in High Places, etc.) does a lot of sweating, along with the OAS, CIA, and NYPD--especially after the fatal interference of Scotland Yard's Stanley Brooks, brother of hostage Sir George. And the breakthrough comes on the advice of legendary Central American activist Ricardo Avillar, who suggests a harder look at the hostages and a solid bargaining chip--one that most readers will have figured out long before. Stubbornly static, padded and ho-hum: Pentecost on his pretty unmatchable lowest level, except for a few red herrings (attempted murder in the penthouse, a lobby invasion by a gang of thugs) and momentary diversions.
