A Sunday Times bestseller, Gridiron is a dazzling thriller set in LA from ‘England’s answer to Michael Crichton’ (Financial Times)

Los Angeles, 1988

Ray Richardson, a brilliant architechnologist, has created a dazzling new building- ‘The Gridiron’, in the heart of L. A.

The Gridiron represents the state-of-the-art in smart buildings- every aspect of the building, from temperature control to security, is controlled by an intricate computer system. On the eve of the building’s official opening, a team gathers to put the finishing touches to Ray’s new masterpiece. But there are a couple of unexplained deaths, which the team at first puts down to saboteurs. It is only when they discover how bizarre these deaths are that they realise the building - through its computer - is controlling them, and is set to destroy its creators.
