Well, it's over.

It was a hoax.

I first spoke to the hotel and they seemed not to know about it. I then called the publicity team at Random House/Doubleday. I just got the following email from them:

Neil,

Please do not go to this location. This is an absolute hoax and we are looking into this as is the Random House legal team. Somehow someone with very bad intentions hacked into the phone number message system of the number published in the book.

Thank you so much for bringing this to our attention. I will be in touch as I learn more.

The Knopf Doubleday Publishing Group

I'm pretty disappointed but not as much as if I had gone. If anyone else received a callback this is the assessment.
