Sarah Mullins, a young American on the run, trades the chaos of New York for the enigmatic calm of Bangkok, thinking she's found sanctuary in an upscale apartment called 'The Kingdom.' With a suitcase filled with stolen cash, her plan to lay low is quickly derailed by the lure of the complex's poolside social scene, led by the charming Mali. Drawn into a circle of ex-pat women through weekly poker nights, Sarah's anonymity fades amidst the dazzling gossip and yadong-soaked parties. However, as political turmoil escalates in the city, the line between the high life and high danger blurs. The Kingdom, with its glass walls and watchful residents, becomes less of a refuge and more of a gilded cage when strange disappearances hint at a more sinister reality. The facades crack, trust wanes, and Sarah's haven morphs into a sinister psychological trap. Lawrence Osborne delivers a masterclass in suspense, weaving a tale of karma and greed in 'The Glass Kingdom,' where every glossy surface reflects a dark, unsettling truth.
