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.

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.
