Seven Keys To Baldpate

Seven Keys to Baldpate

by Earl Derr Biggers

In the heart of a snowy winter, William Magee, a struggling novelist seeking solitude and inspiration, arrives at the isolated Baldpate Inn. His hopes of undisturbed writing are dashed when he discovers that he is not alone. Six other individuals, each possessing a key to the inn, enter the scene, bringing with them a whirlwind of secrets, lies, and danger. As a web of intrigue unfolds, Magee finds himself entangled in a game of deception, where past grievances, hidden agendas, and illicit affairs intertwine with a looming threat. The arrival of the innkeeper's eccentric, enigmatic wife, a mysterious figure with her own secrets, further complicates the already tense atmosphere. The question of who holds the true key to the inn's secrets and who is willing to go to any lengths to protect them becomes a race against time as the lines between truth and fiction blur.
