The Global Art Grab - sample chapter p2

Dusk was beginning to drape hazily over Sydney Harbour, covering its buildings in a pink glow. The streets around the city that were normally crammed with tourists, were quiet now. Only a small number of sightseers remained, defiantly cramming in every attraction Sydney had to offer before the last splinters of daylight disappeared. The department store tills had stopped ringing, most workers had finished working, it was time to go home. The Azure Complex was a new addition to the Sydney skyline. It was built directly opposite the skyscraper, the roof of which Chuck Porecki was now standing on. On the thirty-fifth floor, the relaxing hum of a floor polisher echoed through the empty corriders. A night time cleaner was polishing the dark floor tiles until she could see her face in them. Slowly she shuffled past the vast offices with their glass walls.
