Renowned architect Henrik Voss is found dead in his glass-walled penthouse office, high above the city he helped shape. His greatest skyscraper was meant to crown his career. Who designed his death?
Henrik Voss was architecture made flesh — a towering figure both physically and professionally whose buildings graced the skylines of Dubai, Shanghai, London, and New York. His design philosophy, which he called 'structural poetry,' combined mathematical precision with an almost spiritual reverence for light and space. But Henrik's artistic brilliance coexisted with a profound personal selfishness. He viewed people the way he viewed building materials — useful for their specific properties and discarded when no longer needed. Partners, officials and staff alike had learned what it meant to be useful to Henrik Voss — and what it meant to be set aside once he had taken what he needed. By the time the Pritzker Prize submission went out under his name, the list of people with reason to resent him was long. He died doing what he loved most: bent over a set of blueprints, reviewing the work that had made him famous.
4 people had the means, the motive, or the opportunity. Only one of them is the killer.
