A propulsive rollercoaster high concept international thriller which dares to take the world to the edge of oblivion

'Cordy's blend of heist, technology and geopolitical thriller is a riveting read' The Times 'Cordy back at his brilliant best and ripe for another Hollywood buy up' Daily Express 'The plot is terrific, the writing punchy, the pace fast and the characters delightful' Literary Review

On the anniversary eve of the 9/11 terror attack, New York swelters under a heat dome of record temperatures. Even the global leaders assembled at the UN HQ are forced to admit that the climate crisis has reached boiling point and the world's time is running out.

That same day, at precisely 5-25 p.m., everyone on Manhattan Island - every man, woman and child, including all the world leaders at the UN - falls unconscious. Everyone that is, except for Samantha Rossi, a single mother reeling from devastating personal news and Nick Lockwood, a wounded NYPD detective who wakes from a coma just as the City That Never Sleeps falls into one.

Manhattan Down is a pulse-pounding contemporary thriller which dares to imagine the unimaginable. The questions it asks are terrifying - and so are some of the answers.
