"There's an enduring strangeness at the Boulder Dam Hotel in Boulder City, Nevada. Reality slips beyond reach there like a cat along the corridors, and the cool whispers of what's gone before tickle your ear. Even if you come through the front door ignorant of its history, you'll never leave untouched or escape the seduction of its secret life. The characters who drift in and out of the hotel's history still drift in and out of its rooms and the dark echo of these drifting shadows has given the Boulder Dam Hotel a voice and life of its own."
