    About this ebook

    *** Panic Room meets Lord of the Flies in this chilling claustrophobic thriller ****

    "From the award winning author of Portico, comes another thriller novel that will knock you over and leave you gasping for air."

    What if the staircase you are walking down never ends?

     

    Four very different strangers are trapped alive on a spiral staircase, 129 steps deep under the City of London.

     

    They have no food. There is no water. No-one even knows they're missing.

     

    Time is ticking and together they must find a way out before they starve to death. 

     

    But as thirst, hunger and despair take over, personalities clash and their darkest secrets are exposed.

     

    Pushed to their very limits, it becomes a desperate battle to survive.

     

    Who will give up? Who will die? And who will fight to the very end?

     

    This dark, claustrophobic thriller will expose your own deepest fears. The clever twist will leave you gasping for air.

     

    Take the next step and pre-order this chilling page turner now.


    From the award winning author of Portico and The Illustrator's Daughter.
