He was watching her through the window. Then he watched her die.
Peter Becker has spent years observing other people’s lives through a brass telescope. From his apartment, he can look into other windows, glimpse private moments, and remain safely removed from the people he watches.
Until the night he sees Denise Dolly.
Denise is having sex when Peter watches her through the window. What begins as an intimate scene becomes something he cannot turn away from. A man enters the picture, and Peter witnesses Denise’s murder from across the street.
The killer leaves Peter with details he cannot forget: a silk tie, a thick silver ring on his left hand, and a red curtain falling across the window.
Peter knows what he saw. But knowing isn’t the same as being able to prove it.
His search for answers leads him to Marcus Geller, a man connected to the apartment across the street and a rail yard where Peter discovers evidence that makes the danger feel uncomfortably close.
Then Geller realizes Peter has been watching.
The man who once observed other people’s lives from the safety of his own apartment now has someone watching him. And when Geller comes through Peter’s front door, the distance Peter has always relied on disappears.
Peter wanted to see what happened behind other people’s windows.
He never imagined what it would cost to be the one who saw too much.
THE THIRD FLOOR is a psychological thriller about voyeurism, murder, isolation, and the consequences of witnessing something you were never meant to see.
