THE INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER
 
“Looking for a suspense novel that will keep you up until way past midnight? Look no further than Lock Every Door, by Riley Sager.”—Stephen King 
 
No visitors. No nights spent elsewhere. No disturbing the rich and famous residents. These are the rules for Jules Larsen’s new job apartment sitting at the Bartholomew, one of Manhattan’s most high-profile buildings. Recently heartbroken—and just plain broke—Jules is taken in by the splendor and accepts the terms, ready to leave her past life behind.
 
As she gets to know the occupants and staff, Jules is drawn to fellow apartment sitter Ingrid, who reminds her so much of the sister she lost eight years ago. When Ingrid confides that the Bartholomew has a dark history hidden beneath its gleaming façade, Jules brushes it off as a harmless ghost story—until the next day when Ingrid seemingly vanishes.
 
Searching for the truth, Jules digs deeper into the Bartholomew’s sordid past. But by uncovering the secrets within its walls, Jules exposes herself to untold terrors. Because once you’re in, the Bartholomew doesn’t want you to leave....

Riley Sager is the New York Times bestselling author of six novels, most recently Home Before Dark and Survive the Night. A native of Pennsylvania, he now lives in Princeton, New Jersey.

Reviews

Praise for Lock Every Door

“Urban paranoia has a deliciously Gothic new address.”
Ruth Ware

“The Bartholomew is an apartment building of terrifying secrets. You'll find startling twists and alarming surprises down every dark hallway. It's too late to lock the doors—the horror is already inside. My favorite thriller of the year!”
R. L. Stine, author of Goosebumps
 
“[A] tightly plotted suspense story.”
New York Times Book Review

“The author, writing under a pen name, relates ominous events and spooky developments with skill, adding an element of social commentary and a surprise twist ending—elevating this exercise in terror above the ordinary shocker.”
Wall Street Journal

“If you like your thrillers with a dash of horror, you’ll love Riley Sager’s latest novel Lock Every Door….Suspenseful with twists you won’t see coming.”
BuzzFeed, "The Best Thrillers of 2019"

“This obsessive read invites readers in for spine-tingling fun.”
Shelf Awareness

“Riley Sager takes readers on a roller coaster ride where you will have just enough time to catch your breath before the next big twist hits you....This novel continues Sager's streak of providing a fresh and original voice to the world of psychological thrillers.” 
Bookreporter

“Builds to a devastating finale....Sager uses the darkening atmosphere and the tiniest thing that goes bump in the night for the utmost terror.”
Associated Press

“In short, Lock Every Door is a superb balancing act: a psychological suspense novel that walks the (very fine) line between ode to classic horror and inventive, modern-day suspense story all its own.”
Crime by the Book

“[A] beloved thriller writer.”
Bustle, “27 New Books Out in July 2019 to Get You Through the Sweaty Days of Summer”

“Sager fans and new readers alike will enjoy this heart-pounding thriller that cleverly weaves economic anxiety with something a whole lot darker. Jules must face the demons in the woodwork and in the world around her if she is to have any hope of a future. Because, ultimately, locking every door won’t keep the terror away if the terror is locked in there with you.”
—New York Journal of Books


“A compulsively readable thriller.”
Publishers Weekly, starred review
