Front cover of Gridiron by Philip Kerr

Dubbed the Gridiron, Yu Corporation Building is a monument to human genius. It can forecast the weather, sense your body temperature and even talk to you. Integrated with a powerful thinking machine, it is an amalgamation of art and state of the art. Until one death follows another. A slow paced, slow burn thriller seeking to find answers to what happens to the people who are trapped in the marvel. The reader would appreciate the book published in 1995 stands true even today.
