#1 international bestselling author Ian Rankin returns with a razor-sharp, twisty stand-alone thriller --- this one exposing the lives of the 1% in London’s most exclusive high-rise.

Facing Hyde Park, The Heights is London’s most coveted luxury high-rise apartment --- designed to satisfy every need, with a gym, infinity pool, cinema and more, where self-made owner-developer Allan Franklyn himself has claimed the penthouse duplex. His neighbors include some of “Money London’s” biggest personalities: a wealthy art dealer, a young heartthrob pop star, a foreign heiress, a gangster’s wife. The residents are used to service, deference and privacy, all on their terms.

But when nighttime concierge Dwayne Hogarth is found dead in the lobby, none of that is in their control anymore, and everyone is under the unwelcome scrutiny of Detective Sergeant Gillian Gish. Her questions begin with the party on the fourth floor the night Dwayne died, which ended with a fight; the missing key to one of the apartments; and a mysterious gap in the security camera footage. Before long, Gish uncovers the unsavory truths and dark secrets that lurk beneath the glittering facades of the building and its inhabitants.

Filled with shocking twists and unforgettable characters, THE HEIGHTS confirms Ian Rankin’s status as one of the most original and compelling crime writers of our time.
