Chapter 78: Love For Ever, Lousie-The Murder in Room 1046

In the heart of Kansas City Missouri, there is a historic building called the Hotel President, which has remained an icon in the city since it was erected in 1927. With a list of prestigious guests, it is known for being the spot for lavish parties and entertainment. Still, it is also known as the scene of a murder that has never been solved—that of a young man, with a mysterious background and an even more mysterious death that occurred in January of 1935. States away, in Alabama, Ruby Ogletree is desperate to find out what happened to her son Artemus after he leaves home for the adventure of a lifetime.
