MURDER COMES TO LONDONS 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 billionaires playground offering sumptuous suites for the global elite.

But when a night concierge is found murdered in the lobby, the buildings 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...?

THE FIRST STANDALONE THRILLER IN TWO DECADES FROM THE NUMBER ONE BESTSELLER IAN RANKIN

A brand-new full-length novel, expanded from the previously published short story The Rise.

Terrific
MICK HERRON, bestselling author of Slow Horses& The Slough House series

Elegantly constructed and stylishly executed ... A deft, richly layered and tautly woven thriller with echoes of Dickens and Christie which kept me guessing right to the end. I couldnt turn the pages fast enough
CHRIS CHIBNALL, creator of Broadchurch and author of Death At The White Hart

A brilliantly constructed mystery ... Taut, atmospheric and populated by wonderfully drawn characters, its a page-turner that never sacrifices intelligence for pace. Simply superb. The king is still very much at the very top of his game

A high concept whodunnit from one of the legends of crime fiction
