The Glass Hotel
The Glass Hotel follows Vincent, a bartender at the Hotel Caiette, who encounters Jonathan Alkaitis and a message scrawled on the lobby glass: "Why don’t you swallow broken glass." Alkaitis’s billion-dollar business collapses as a fraud that devastates lives; years later a victim of the scheme is hired to investigate a woman’s apparent disappearance from the deck of a container ship.
