The Westing Game starts with a delivery boy delivering letters to tenants who are supposed to move into Sunset Towers.
The Sunset Towers in "The Westing Game" end up being the site of Sam Westing's intricate game to determine his heir. The heirs move into the Sunset Towers and become entangled in a mystery involving Westing's supposed murder, leading to a series of twists and revelations that ultimately resolve the story.
Barney Northrup made the mistake of renting one of the apartments in Sunset Towers to a woman named Sydelle Pulaski, instead of Sybil Pulaski. Sybil Pulaski is only mentioned in the book, she never shows up, though. Sydelle Pulaski has no westing connection.
Barney Northrup made the mistake of double renting the empty apartments by inviting multiple tenants to move into the same units at Sunset Towers. This led to confusion and conflict among the tenants who all believed they had signed leases for the same apartments.
The wrong person mistakenly invited to move into Sunset Towers is Barney Northrup. He is not actually the real Barney Northrup, the one who was supposed to manage the apartment building.
