Sliver is an erotic novel by the American writer Ira Levin, first published in 1991. The story follows a group of mysterious people in a privately owned high-rise apartment building in New York City after an attractive young woman moves in. The novel was adapted into a film of the same name in 1993. Directed by Phillip Noyce and written by Joe Eszterhas, it starred Sharon Stone, William Baldwin, Polly Walker and Tom Berenger.
Kay Norris, a book editor, moves into a Manhattan "sliver” building. Tall and slender, it has only two apartments on each floor. She meets a handsome and friendly fellow occupant. Norris does not know at first that the young man is the owner. He turns out to be a modern-day “peeping tom” who secretly had surveillance cameras and microphones installed in every apartment, with his own place in the building serving as his headquarters. Norris soon becomes embroiled in a murder mystery, and finds herself in danger.
