In conversation with Gabriel Bergmoser

Bestselling author Gabriel Bergmoser returns with his most electrifying novel yet, High Rise – an adrenaline charged, heart-stopping, action-packed masterpiece that blends gritty realism with razor-sharp storytelling. Think Die Hard meets The Raid, with a darkly humourus, wildly entertaining and uniquely Australian edge.

The story follows estranged father and ex-cop Jack Carlin as he tracks his rebellious daughter Morgan to the top floor of a crumbling Melbourne high-rise. But Morgan isn’t looking to be saved, and Jack’s dark past has drawn dangerous enemies. With a bounty on his head, they become trapped in a deadly fight for survival with an onslaught of ruthless gang members and bounty hunters swarming the building.

What unfolds is an unrelenting battle as Jack and Morgan fight through fifteen floors of chaos, facing brutal enemies and their own fractured relationship. Amid the carnage, they must confront their past and rediscover the bond that might be their greatest chance of survival. Fast-paced with electrifying tension, High Rise delivers gritty action and emotional stakes in equal measure.
