The clock is ticking . . .

Andy and three other kids wake up in a locked room.

The room has no windows, but it has a locked door, with a countdown clock above it.

They have less than an hour to figure out how to get out of this room. But when they do . . .?
There’s another locked room, and more locked doors. And they can’t go back.

High concept, high stakes, high emotions – this story packs a punch and you won’t be able to put it down.

Praise for The Locked Room

It feels like a video game wrapped in an escape room inside a book.

Tristan Bancks, author of SCAR TOWN

Keeps you guessing till the very end. Lock this in as your next nailbiter!

Adrian Beck, author of VILLAIN

There’s no escaping this page-turner. Once you’re in, you’re in – all the way to the end.

Mike Lucas, author of WHAT WE ALL SAW

A mystery inside a maze of puzzles, the fast-paced tension starts in Chapter 1 and doesn't let up!

Amy Doak, author of ELEANOR JONES IS NOT A MURDERER
