A penthouse apartment. A murder on the balcony. Someone in the building... is a killer. Private Investigator Annie Hudson and her sidekick, FBI Agent Ethan Becket, are at it again in this quirky, locked door whodunit! Rowling Heights is the most luxurious apartment building in San Diego, its opulent units overlooking the bay. Living in the building is an exquisite experience... although, the owner's son Tony might disagree, considering he was thrown over the side of his penthouse's balcony just mere hours ago. But never fear! Private Investigator Annie Hudson is on the case. She'll root through the residents' secrets, getting to the bottom of the case in this exclusive apartment building where everyone has something to hide, but nobody's talking. Only a handful of people had access to the thirteenth floor-- and one of them murdered Tony in cold blood. Annie Hudson intends to find out who committed the crime, all while unravelling the secrets of her own past. Fans of Thursday Murder Club and Only Murders in the Building will love detective Annie Hudson, who doesn't believe in feelings-- just facts! Unless a feeling leads her to a fact in which case... you get it.

Fourteen impossible crimes from the American masters of the form For devotees of the Golden Age mystery, the impossible crime story represents the period’s purest form: it presents the reader with a baffling scenario (a corpse discovered in a windowless room locked from the inside, perhaps), lays out a set of increasingly confounding clues, and swiftly delivers an ingenious and satisfying solution. During the years between the two world wars, the best writers in the genre strove to outdo one another with unfathomable crime scenes and brilliant explanations, and the puzzling and clever tales they produced in those brief decades remain unmatched to this day. Among the Americans, some of these authors are still household names, inextricably linked to the locked room mysteries they devised: John Dickson Carr, Ellery Queen, Clayton Rawson, Stuart Palmer. Others, associated with different styles of crime fiction, also produced great works—authors including Fredric Brown, MacKinlay Kantor, Craig Rice, and Cornell Woolrich. All of these and more can be found in Golden Age Locked Room Mysteries, selected by Edgar Award-winning mystery expert and anthologist Otto Penzler. Featuring a delightful mix of well-known writers and unjustly-forgotten masters, the fourteen tales included herein highlight the best of the American impossible crime story, promising hours of entertainment for armchair sleuths young and old.
From the bachelor pad that Jack Lemmon's C. C. Baxter loans out to his superiors in Billy Wilder's The Apartment (1960) to the crumbling tenement in a dystopian Taipei in Tsai Ming-liang's The Hole (1998), the apartment in films and television series is often more than just a setting: it can motivate or shape the narrative in key ways. Such works belong to a critical genre identified by Pamela Robertson Wojcik as the apartment plot, which comprises specific thematic, visual, and narrative conventions that explore modern urbanism's various forms and possibilities. In The Apartment Complex a diverse group of international scholars discuss the apartment plot in a global context, examining films made both within and beyond the Hollywood studios. The contributors consider the apartment plot's intersections with film noir, horror, comedy, and the musical, addressing how different national or historical contexts modify the apartment plot and how the genre's framework allows us to rethink the work of auteurs and identify productive connections and tensions between otherwise disparate texts.
