&;As fast as a falling elevator&;a shameless good time.&;
&;Joe Hill, #1 New York Times Bestselling Author
It all begins on a Monday, when four people board an elevator in a Manhattan office tower. Each presses a button for their floor, but the elevator proceeds, nonstop, to the top. Once there, the doors don&;t open. Instead, the elevator begins to descend floor by floor. Then it plummets. Right to the bottom of the shaft.
It appears to be a random accident. But on Tuesday, it happens again, in a different Manhattan skyscraper. And then Wednesday brings yet another tragic high-rise catastrophe. In only three days, one of the most vertical cities in the world is plunged into chaos. Clearly, this is a cold, calculated bid to terrorize the city.
Fearing for their lives, thousands of people who work in high-rises across the city refuse to leave their homes. Commerce has slowed to a trickle. The mayor, already embroiled in a growing scandal, is desperate for answers. Who is behind this? Are these deadly acts of sabotage connected to a fingerless body found on the High Line? Two seasoned New York detectives and a straight-shooting journalist must race against time to uncover the truth before the city&;s newest, and tallest, residential tower has its ribbon-cutting on Thursday.
&;A white-knuckled ride&;with twists on every level&;. I gulped it down.&;
