From the jacket:
Helen McCloy has won wide acclaim as author of the Basil Willing mysteries. This time she has written an entirely different kind of mystery novel—one of escape and threat and terror that will chill the marrow of your bones.
The sign read DO NOT DISTURB and at first Edith Talbot ignored the pitiful whimpering that came through the door. The hotel clerk assured her that the room was occupied by a sick boy under the care of a physician. Later in the night, when the cries were resumed, she felt that something must be done—and she made the fatal mistake of knocking on the door...
From then on things begin to happen—strange things that at first seem innocuous coincidence but crescendo into a series of hair-raising events.
"Engaging heroine—who does most of sleuthing—many shivery and exciting sequences, continuous action, and extra good writing."—The Saturday Review of Literature
"One of [McCloy's] most startling efforts."—The Hartford Courant
