The Glass Hotel - 1st Edition

Vincent is a bartender at the Hotel Caiette, a five star hotel on the northern most tip of Vancouver Island. On the night she meets Jonathan Alkaitis, a hooded figure scrawls a message on the lobby's glass wall: Why don't you swallow broken glass. Leon Prevant, a shipping executive for Neptune-Avramidis, reads the words and orders a drink to calm down. Alkaitis, the owner of the hotel and a wealthy investment manager, arrives too late to read the threat, never knowing it was intended for him. He leaves Vincent a hundred-dollar tip along with his business card, and a year later they are lliving together as husband and wife.
