SUMMARY: From the author of the Sunday Times bestseller Cocaine Nights comes an acclaimed backlist title the unnerving tale of life in a modern tower block running out of control now reissued in new cover style. Within the concealing walls of an elegant forty-storey tower block, the affluent tenants are hell-bent on an orgy of destruction. Cocktail parties degenerate into marauding attacks on 'enemy' floors and the once-luxurious amenities become an arena for technological mayhem...
