A Tower nine stories high

By Michael Smith

It is 1994. Benjamin Bone arrives with Natalya in Singapore, the city state where she was born. On the way from the airport, aircon full on, a tropical storm imminent, their hire car is trapped in the middle of a crowded road junction.

A vehicle hurtles into them, a pedestrian dies, and Benjamin finds himself in all kinds of trouble.

Meanwhile a frail old woman lies dead in a rundown apartment block known as Tower Nine. Bullied policewoman Kyra Abuja, along with her green young partner Wei, are sent to investigate.

It looks to be a natural death but Tower Nine is deserted, soon to be sold, and the woman's husband is nowhere to be found. Then, as Kyra's suspicions mount, she is warned off the case.

How are Benjamin and Natalya linked with the dead old woman? What is Tower Nine's toxic secret? And who is the mysterious refugee from Mao's China with a violent past?

Kyra and Benjamin need answers. And fast, or it will be too late for all of them.
