Klappentext

Every floor has its secrets.

Washed-up American heart-throb George Abercrombie hates India, even from the rarified heights of his apartment on the 68th floor of the Pinnacle, Mumbai's grandest luxury skyscraper. He hates the noise, he hates the heat and maybe he's even grown to hate his much younger wife, the newest queen of Bollywood, Sweety Sahota.

When George wakes from a drunken stupor to find Sweety murdered in their bedroom, he knows he will be the prime suspect. But where is her computer, her phone - and where has his personal assistant gone?
As George scrambles to piece together the night, others in the building are covering their tracks. Sweety's assistant must find who is blackmailing her, and a servant who knows too much goes on the run.

Welcome to the Pinnacle. A place where murder meets luxury and the world's most privileged depend on the most desperate.

From the winner of the 2025 British Book Awards Thriller of the Year comes a pulse-pounding new novel, set in a world of lavish opulence where someone is always watching, because everyone is hiding something.
