When four people are discovered murdered in the penthouse of a luxury Manhattan tower known as The Spire, ace NYPD detective ‘Diamond’ Mike Vogel faces his most baffling case yet. The all former associates of disgraced billionaire and pedophile, Andrew Levine. The lone surviving witness is Mike’s only suspect and has vanished. To find the killer, Mike must use all of his investigative skills and grapple with his own dark secret, while searching for the purported sex tapes of the world’s most powerful men—videos worth killing for—and holding the key to the entire investigation. Pursued by Talon—a shadowy private intelligence company—with ties to the U.S. government, and perhaps the killer too, Mike must uncover the truth about what happened that night in The Spire. Part mystery/thriller and police procedural with elements of a roman à clef, The Spire is a ‘howcatchem’ about a cop trying to solve brutal multiple murders entwined with the personal struggle of trying to reconnect with his estranged son.
