And Then There Were None meets The Last Breath in this tense and suspenseful locked-room thriller that takes place inside a hyperbaric chamber from the author of the “brilliant, twisted, and oh so clever” (Chris Whitaker, New York Times bestselling author) novel The Last Thing to Burn.

Six experienced saturation divers are locked inside a hyperbaric chamber. Calm and professional, they know that rapid decompression would be fatal and so they work in shifts, breathing helium, and surviving in hot, close quarters.

Then one of them is found dead in his bunk.

With four days of decompression to go before the locked hatch to the chamber can be safely opened, the group must watch one another’s backs at all times. And when another diver is discovered unresponsive, everyone is on edge. What…or who…is taking them out one by one? And will any of them still be alive by the time the four days is up or will paranoia, exhaustion, suspicion, and pressure destroy them all?

Praise for this book

"THE CHAMBER by Will Dean is the ultimate locked room page-turner. Six saturation divers trapped in a hyperbaric are dying one by one under mysterious circumstances and don't know who to trust. The isolation and fear are palpable, and the impending dread thrums along with a steady, heart-hammering intensity. Dean's meticulous research into the day-to-day duties of saturation divers lays the groundwork, but it's his ability to thrust readers into the metal chamber and slam the door behind them that makes THE CHAMBER a haunting, unforgettable thriller." - Heather Gudenkauf

"THE CHAMBER is a masterful claustrophobic thriller, crafted with the precision of a fine watch and the reveals executed with more depth than a North Sea oil rig. Just brilliant!" - Janice Hallett

"A highly original thriller set in the claustrophobic, high-risk world of saturation diving. The tension is almost unbearable. A masterclass in suspense - I absolutely loved it!" - Shari Lapeña

"If you look up the definition of locked-room mystery, don't be surprised to see the cover of THE CHAMBER by Will Dean. Saturation divers dying inside a locked hyperbaric chamber with no way out for four days is one of the most unique and compelling premises I've read in a long time. It was claustrophobic, intense, and as the pressure built and the countdown to the surviving divers' freedom was on, I couldn't put the book down for a single second. THE CHAMBER is perfection, Dean's writing and research are flawless, and I can't wait for whatever new mind-blowing gem he comes up with next." - Hannah Mary McKinnon

"It is a tour-de-force. If your daily job can kill you in multiple ways, you certainly don't expect to be targeted by your colleagues. Chilling, intriguing and educational in a most entertaining way." - Liz Nugent

"I was utterly gripped by THE CHAMBER. This unbearably tense thriller conjured a claustrophobic atmosphere that had me reaching for the escape hatch even in the open spaces of Devon. Well-drawn characters and excellent prose. A superb summer read." - Sarah Pearse

"Breathtaking. Terrifying. Unforgettable. So tense you'll want to put it down, so thrilling you won't be able to. The Chamber is simply brilliant." - Chris Whitaker
