The Glass Wall by Clare Curzon
One freezing February evening, a Filipino barman named Ramon
witnesses someone plunging from the seventh story of a luxury penthouse.
Instead of calling the police, he heads straight for the apartment from
which the body has fallen. It belongs to an old woman with a mysterious
past, who could not get out of bed by herself.
Superintendent
Mike Yeadings and Sergeant Rosemary Zycynski lead the investigation.
Searching for a link between a teenage drug victim, a missing care
assistant, and an unidentified corpse, they discover further mysteries
behind the glass wall of the penthouse. Other lives are threatened and
the circle of menace widens to involve the dead woman's unhappily
married doctor and estranged granddaughter.
Clare
Curzon's latest mystery masterfully unpicks the events and motives that
lead toward the apparent murder of a woman already mortally frail. Her
brilliantly fast-paced style keeps the pages turning as the chilling
truth is gradually revealed. (From Amazon.com product listing.)
