Hostages of the Past

The guests of a small boarding house do not know one another, and they have only just met their hostess. Yet the pasts of several of them are connected by a single shared chapter.

That day, a murder takes place in London. News of the tragedy reaches the hotel, but it soon becomes clear that the story is destined to continue within those very walls, now cut off from the outside world by a snowstorm.

The guilty who have committed no crime. Indifference, superficiality, and a diminished sense of responsibility — these are what set a chain of tragedies in motion.

One person’s fate becomes linked to the lives of others, drawing them all into a tense and intricate mystery.
