About
The body is on the penthouse floor. The killer is already back at work, mopping the lobby.
The Spire is a rotting urban monument whose residents have one thing in common: secrets they can't afford to lose. An adulterous socialite, a bribe-taking politician, a desperate couple running an illegal stream, a gambling addict embezzling family funds - each one trapped in their own quietly crumbling life. The building's handyman sees all of it. Has always seen it. And one night, he finally collects.
Detective Alistair Crane knows the alibi is a lie - five residents, one half-hour window, five perfectly independent emergencies. But proving it means pulling a thread that unravels every one of them. The killer hasn't just covered his tracks; he's made sure that the truth is more dangerous than the crime.
The deeper Crane digs, the more the case stops looking like murder and starts looking like justice. But whose justice? And at what cost?
Perfect for fans of: Big Little Lies, The Seven Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle, Anatomy of a Scandal, Slow Horses, The Secret History
