Man on the Endless Stair

When decorated novelist Malcolm Furnivall is found brutally murdered in his study, and his invaluable unfinished novel missing, it falls to his protégé - a troubled but talented young author named Euan - to venture deep into Malcolm's labyrinthine mansion to find the manuscript before it falls into the wrong hands.
