“Read Elevator Pitch as soon as possible. It’s one hell of a suspense novel.”
―Stephen King
It 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, non-stop, to the top. Once there, it stops for a few seconds, and then plummets.
Right to the bottom of the shaft.
It appears to be a horrific, random tragedy. But then, on Tuesday, it happens again, in a different Manhattan skyscraper. And when Wednesday brings yet another high-rise catastrophe, one of the most vertical cities in the world—and the nation’s capital of media, finance, and entertainment—is plunged into chaos.

“A Noise Downstairs, his best work yet, is a cobra of a story: smooth, slippery, unnerving…and likely to strike when you least expect it. I devoured this book.” —A. J. Finn, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Woman in the Window
“Vintage Barclay—A Noise Downstairs is an utterly compelling read with a twist you won’t see coming. I loved it!” —Shari Lapena, New York Times bestselling author of A Stranger in the House and The Couple Next Door

An announcement that will be of interest to readers in Canada, particularly Ontario: Back in 1998, I wrote a satirical book on the premier of the day, called Mike Harris Made Me Eat My Dog. Now, 21 years later, there's something of a sequel coming, called Ford AbomiNation, a relentless mocking of the policies of the Doug Ford government. It's coming in late October, early November, published by ECW Press, with cartoons by the brilliant Brian Gable. All you folks who LOVE Doug, please react angrily so that we may help spread the word about Ford AbomiNation. After all the things this government has done -- slashing vital services, sticking it to libraries, increasing class sizes, giving cushy jobs to friends -- sometimes all you want to do is laugh. ...

You are awesome! Yesser we need a laugh. Here's one for you - I just ordered MHMMEMDog for $7.95 before the rush. I should have gotten it last year when I saw it for 99-cents. Doesn't matter - I'm glad I finally got it. I also got free shipping and amazon prime free for a month. Bonus. Couldn't get that for 99-cents. Looking forward to Ford AbomiNation! Shoot - maybe I should have checked out the library. Meh, whatever!
So looking forward to reading! I love your writing!!!!
I am going to make sure we have ordered this book for our Library! 👍
Thanks for being a great author with a voice and a social conscience. ❤
Loved the Mike Harris book. Can’t wait for the Ford one!
Your list of Ford AbomiNations is much too short! Hope to read more in the book! Enjoyed your chat in Picton last fall, hope your book Elevator goes right to the top floor!
You are so right! Sometimes we NEED to laugh!
You've been one of my favourite authors since I was in high school, but this just gave me a whole new reason.
Love this!
Can't wait!
Tiffiny Williamson this is the book to read She can’t stand Doug Cindy Wilding not sure if you read books 🙂 I just love reading his books 🙂
Don't use too many big words or Dougie won't be able to read it
YESSS! OMG, I just finished re-reading my copy of Mike Harris made me eat my dog (autographed!) & said " you could just scratch out Harris' (that a-hole) name & replace it with Waldo Ford.......YOU ARE A GENIUS! <3 Cannot wait to read this!
Oh, how I miss your columns! And podcasts!
We'll be looking for it. thanks Gail.
Miss your humour writing (though I like the suspense novels too.) This is the issue of the Star where you were first introduced as the new humour columnist back in 1993.
Spreading the word and buying for sure .

I'll retweet, but I'll take myself out of the running for a free copy.
In my upcoming book, Ford AbomiNation, I explain how Ford will make the Yonge subway line east-west, and the Bloor line north-south. That way, wherever you want to go, you're probably already there.
