A luxury hotel in the heart of London. A routine journey to the twenty-ninth floor. The lift shudders… and stops.

Inside, seven strangers are trapped, cut off from the outside world. Their only link to safety is a reassuring female voice over the intercom. A woman who knows more than she should.

Lift engineer Ellie Mason expects nothing more than a routine call-out. Three years after escaping a toxic relationship, she’s rebuilt her life around her young son, determined to keep her past buried.

But as the situation escalates, Ellie becomes prime suspect in a major incident that threatens to turn catastrophic. With time running out and suspicion closing in, she must confront the truth she’s been running from.

Because if Ellie fails, seven people will die.

Taut, claustrophobic and impossible to put down, this high-concept thriller will keep you holding your breath until the very last floor drops.
