About this ebook
The New York State Library looms as a silent sanctuary of knowledge: a hundred-year-old labyrinth of towering bookcases, narrow aisles, and spiral staircases. But for Dr Stephen Swain and his eight-year-old daughter Holly it is a place of nightmare. Because, for just one night, this historic building is to become the venue for a horrifying contest, a contest in which Swain must compete, whether he likes it or not.
The rules of the challenge are simple: seven contestants will enter, but only one will leave. With his daughter in his arms, Stephen Swain is plunged into a terrifying fight for survival. The stakes are high, the odds are brutal. He can choose to run, to hide, or to fight - but if he wants to live, he needs to win. For, in this particular contest, unless you leave as victor, you do not leave at all.

Fantastic quick novel to read between 1 and 4 days or so. I had the
paperback copy but can't find it amongst the other books so I decided I
would splash out and get the ebook. Unfortunately whoever copied it over
has made numerous spelling mistakes, words like "and" are routinely
misspelled. Fairly poor in my eyes, nevertheless worth a read.
