**INSTANT NATIONAL BESTSELLER** The #1 bestselling Linwood Barclay returns with an edge-of-your-seat thriller that does for elevators what Psycho did for showers and Jaws did for the beach--a heart-pounding tale of terror and menace that will make you think twice the next time you hit Up.It all begins on a Monday, when four people board an elevator in a Manhattan ofï¬ce tower. Each presses a button for their ï¬oor, but the elevator proceeds, nonstop, to the top. Once there it pauses for a few seconds, but the doors don't open. Instead, the elevator begins to descend ï¬oor-by-ï¬oor. 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--and the nation's capital of media, ï¬nance and entertainment--is plunged into chaos.Clearly, this is anything but random. This is a cold, calculated bid to terrorize the city. And it's succeeding. Fearing for their lives, thousands of men and women working in ofï¬ces across the city refuse to leave their homes. Commerce has slowed to a trickle. Emergency calls to the top ï¬oors of apartment towers go unanswered.Who is behind this? Why are they doing it? Are these deadly acts of sabotage somehow connected to a ï¬ngerless body found on the High Line? Two seasoned New York detectives and a straight-shooting journalist race against time to uncover the truth before the city's newest, and tallest, residential tower has its ribbon-cutting on Friday night.With each diabolical twist, Linwood Barclay ratchets up the tension, building to a shattering finale. Elevator Pitch is a riveting tale of psychological suspense that is all too plausible . . . and will chill you to the bone.
