Complete story — includes the ending

Rosalyn Graham, a wealthy octogenarian, falls from her penthouse flat, dying and killing the man she lands on. An ottoman is found next to the railing of her balcony, but she did not have the strength to move it there; it was put there to make it look like a suicide. Graham leaves her estate to her dog, which would tie her estate up for years while heirs contest it. Billionaire real estate mogul William Hull is buying up properties' air rights to build a 63-story edifice designed by architect Malcolm Busquet. Graham's death deprives him of the air rights to her building. Busquet or one of his staff made a career-killing design error - an average wind would topple it - and tried to cover it up by killing three people to ensure that the project could go ahead at a shorter, safe height, 40 stories. Gregson is involved with a disgraced former police officer, Paige Cowan. Paige breaks off the relationship after Joan accidentally runs into them at a restaurant. They eventually make up after she reveals that the reason she broke up with Gregson is that she has MS.
