The heart-stopping new novel of deception and delusion from the bestselling author of The Girl in Kellers Way.

‘Welcome to the escape room. Your goal is simple. Get out alive.’
In the lucrative world of Wall Street finance, Vincent, Jules, Sylvie and Sam are the ultimate high-flyers. Ruthlessly ambitious, they make billion-dollar deals and live lives of outrageous luxury. Getting rich is all that matters, and they'll do anything to get ahead.

When the four of them become trapped in an elevator escape room, things start to go horribly wrong. They have to put aside their fierce office rivalries and work together to solve the clues that will release them. But in the confines of the elevator the dark secrets of their team are laid bare. They are made to answer for profiting from a workplace where deception, intimidation and sexual harassment thrive.

Tempers fray and the escape room’s clues turn more and more ominous, leaving the four of them dangling on the precipice of disaster. If they want to survive, they’ll have to solve one final puzzle: which one of them is a killer?

Praise for The Escape Room

Fantastic – one of my favorite books of the year.

Lee Child

Goldin’s debut The Girl in Kellers Way was a winner, but The Escape Room takes her mastery of the thriller to the next level – and the very last page.

Herald Sun

The Escape Room is a perfect balance of white-collar and psychological crime which plays on the one percent's penchant for a privileged life where lust, greed and murder equals wealth...Megan Goldin cleverly crafts a white-hot slow burn of a story filled with deceptive characters and murderous twists in the confines of a claustrophobic elevator.

Just a Guy Who Likes To Read

Wall Street high flyers, the question of entitlement, an elevator and a killer puzzle to solve before it’s too late …The Escape Room is a book that delivers.
