Heights, The (PB) - C-format

The first standalone thriller in two decades from the number one bestseller Ian Rankin! Murder comes to London's most luxurious high-rise: and every resident is a suspect. The Heights: a gleaming, high-end high-rise looming over Hyde Park. Newly built from steel and smoked glass, a billionaire's playground offering sumptuous suites for the global elite. But when a night concierge is found murdered in the lobby, the building's rarefied atmosphere is shattered, and the gilded lives within come under intense police scrutiny. In a world designed to keep prying eyes out, where the residents are not used to being held to account, born-and-bred Londoner Detective Gillian Gish must find a way past their power, wealth and unimaginable influence. The rules may be different at the top - but is anyone truly above the law? Or could it be that the higher you rise, the further you fall ...? A brand-new full-length novel, expanded from the previously published short story The Rise. 'Ian Rankin is an all-time, solid-gold UK crime fiction great - read The Heights and find out why.' - Lee Child. 'A high concept whodunnit from one of the legends of crime fiction.' - Steve Cavanagh.
