ELEVATOR PITCH

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 non-stop to the top. Once there it stops for a few seconds and then plummets. Right to the bottom of the shaft. It appears to be a horrific random tragedy. But then on Tuesday it happens again in a different Manhattan skyscraper. And when Wednesday brings yet another high-rise catastrophe one of the most vertical cities in the world – and the nation’s capital of media finance 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 working. Fearing for their lives thousands of men and women working in offices across the city refuse leave their homes. Commerce has slowed to a trickle. Emergency calls to the top floors of apartment buildings go unanswered. Who is behind this? What do these deadly acts of sabotage have to do with the fingerless body found on the High Line? Two seasoned New York detectives and a straight-shooting journalist must race against time to find the answers . . . Pulsating with tension Elevator Pitch is a riveting tale of psychological suspense that is all too plausible . . . and will chill readers to the bone.
