In the heart of Los Angeles, the "smart" building nicknamed "the Grid" can talk to its occupants, forecast the weather, and tell if any inhabitant has been taking drugs. On the eve of its opening, the key players gather to put the finishing touches on their masterpiece of architecture and computer science. Then something goes terribly wrong, and people begin to die. Now the creators must stop their creation--before it kills them all, one by one.

Revue de presse

"England's answer to Michael Crichton" (Financial Times)

"I loved Gridiron. It is truly original disaster novel with a theme that is awesome" (Ruth Rendell)

"Brilliant thriller about a computerised building that turns into a killing machine" (Independent)

"Kerr paces the action, teases and controls... The novel is all the more powerful for being close enough to contemporary truth for this skillful writer to engender a real sense of horror... Severely frightening" (Frances Fyfield Daily Telegraph)

"Ingeniously gruesome... I found myself turning the pages in feverish anticipation" (The Times)
