As fast as a falling elevatora shameless good time.-Joe Hill, #1 New York Times Bestselling AuthorIt 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 dont 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.
