A pen falls from a high rise and shatters at the feet of New York World reporter and World War vet Alan Priest. Its broken barrel bears the name and office of Fritch Designs on the 24th floor. On a whim, he investigates. As he reaches floor 24, he finds a window open and a corpse on the sidewalk below. A gawker from a nearby office window recognizes the corpse by her dress, sees Alan looking out the victim’s window and screams.

Someone bolts from the office, and a hasty pursuit ends in a policeman being hurled to his death and Alan being accused of both murders.

He seeks shelter with the help of gentlemen’s club hostess Lorraine Marquette, which lands both of them in police custody. But the mob king of New York has the police in his clutches and soon Alan and Lorraine find themselves released solely to uncover the secret behind Fritch Designs, a secret that could cost them their lives as they evade assassins and brave the lethal heights of a city growing at a mad pace.

Floor 24 is a heart-stopping, old-fashioned adventure with a reckless pace and breakneck twists.

Her Life

Simply 8, a group from Camas, Washington, is not your ordinary rock band. We have a goal in mind when writing our music. Approximately 92% of all popular music contains profanity in the lyrics and meaning. A shocking 8% do not. Simply 8 members Rachel Higgins, Gabe Mukobi, Soroush Badiei, Zephry Lyne, and Hayden Kane want to write meaningful, pure music in order to be in that 8%. We believe it is this that makes us fresh, interesting, and most importantly, different.
