___________
A tragic accident? Or murder?
A woman falls to her death from a London bank's twenty-fifth-floor roof terrace.
You're arrested for her murder.
You tell the police that you only met the victim the previous night at your office party. She was threatening to jump from the roof, but you talked her down.
You've got nothing to do with this tragedy.
You're clearly being framed.
So why do the police keep picking holes in your story?
And why doesn't your lawyer seem to believe you?
It soon becomes obvious that you're keeping secrets.
But who are you trying to protect? And why?
Obsession. Intrigue. Revenge. Get ready for one of the most twisty thrillers this year!

Store description
I am a long-time reader and collector of books, including general literature, fiction, and science fiction/fantasy. I am now pursuing one of my ambitions, that is to use my interests and experience and become a fulltime Bookseller. I continue to acquire books that are appealing to me and hopefully also to you. My acquisitions include new and future releases as well as previously published items. I therefore have, and will continue to have, many interesting items for sale. Most of my available items are First Editions, First Printings and identified as such. Whenever possible I obtain signed copies. This includes through attendance at Readings, Book Fairs and, recently, via on-line meetings. All dust jackets are wrapped in Archival dust jacket cover to protect them and to enhance the appearance of the book. I also have a large collection of comics, which is undergoing review and some of which are being offered for sale. I will also offer, from time to time, Art-related items including Catalogues, Posters and Prints. I have been a dealer in sports cards and memorabilia, as well as comics, selling at Shows and Conventions. Therefore, as both a collector and seller, I understand your need for well maintained items in good condition and fairness in describing items offered for sale. We also accept responsibility for proper packaging of items to avoid shipping-related damage, even if it increases the cost of getting the item to you. We make these requirements our obligation to you the client. Thanks for your interest in our items.…
