Black Beacon Books is pleased to announce that the second Kindle-only novelette for 2026 will be published on the 28th of April.
Detective Ray Sanford dropped a five-dollar bill into the coffee can of a panhandler sitting by the 57th Street subway entrance on Sixth Avenue, and turned west onto 57th. Ahead rose his destination, one of the tallest luxury high-rises in the world. Supertalls they call them these days. He’d read that one in Dubai stood 163 stories. That’s nuts. The only way he’d be that high off the ground would be in a jetliner, and even that would require meds.
Thus begins this thrilling short mystery set in one of New York's tallest towers, the latest offering from Iowan crime writer Bruce W. Most.
Who would want to kill a window washer, and how did the murderer leave the supertall unnoticed?
This gravity-defying mystery will give even the most ardent crime readers a bout of vertigo. Recommended for fans of Alfred Hitchcock's films, Perry Mason and Columbo, and the fiction of Rex Stout, Ellery Queen, and Raymond Chandler.
