ABOUT CITY UNDER ONE ROOF:
A
stranded detective tries to solve a murder in a tiny Alaskan town where
everyone lives in a single high-rise building, in this gripping debut
by an Academy Award–nominated screenwriter.
When a
local teenager discovers a severed hand and foot washed up on the
shore, Anchorage-based detective Cara Kennedy is called in to
investigate.
A detective from Anchorage, she has her own motives for
investigating the possible murder in this isolated place, which can be
accessed only by a tunnel.
When Cara arrives, she discovers the folks of Point Mettier
are as
icy as the weather
After a blizzard causes the tunnel
to close indefinitely, Cara is stuck among the odd and suspicious
residents of the town—all 205 of whom live in the same high-rise
building and are as icy as the weather. Cara teams up with Point Mettier
police officer Joe Barkowski, but before long the investigation is
upended by fearsome gang members from a nearby native village.
Haunted by her past, Cara soon discovers that everyone in this town has
something to hide. Will she be able to unravel their secrets before she
unravels?"
The ultimate locked room mystery,
CITY UNDER ONE ROOF drops readers into an isolated, snowy town and is perfect for fans of
Twin Peaks, Mare of Easttown, and Broadchurch.
Sounds very good.
