1995. Nick and Rosemary Storey, recently retired, visit Riga and Jurmala, at the invitation of a former Latvian customs officer they met in 1974. At the hotel, Nick trips and breaks his ankle. Confined to a wheelchair, he indulges in people-watching, notably a fancy Russian wedding. But when the groom appears to have been murdered and the hotel want some independent witnesses to the investigation, Nick and Rosemary help with the enquiries which include several Russian "businessmen" and a secretive organisation called the Kalovit Group. Using observation, interviews and such clues as have been left, they struggle through indifference, lies and lack of evidence. Though the evidence overall points in several directions, a few true words give Rosemary the inspiration to solve the crime. "Murder in the Baltic Hotel" is the fifth book published in a series of detective stories, mostly set in Customs & Excise by Richard Hernaman Allen, a former Commissioner. 9781326256937 1326256939 255 BOOK Fiction http://books.google.com/books/content?id=NiXQCwAAQBAJ&printsec=frontcover&img=1&zoom=5&edge=curl&source=gbs_api http://books.google.com/books/content?id=NiXQCwAAQBAJ&printsec=frontcover&img=1&zoom=1&edge=curl&source=gbs_api en 9781326256937
