About The Book
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?

Raves and Reviews
“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, internationally bestselling author of ONLY ONE SURVIVES.
“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, New York Times bestselling author of WE BEGIN AT THE END
“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 Lapena, New York Times bestselling author of THE COUPLE NEXT DOOR
“It takes locked-room mysteries to new depths like never before. If someone had told me to read a book set in a decompression chamber, I would have passed but I went in blind and found all of the meticulously researched facts absolutely fascinating. Once you start to read the book, the pressure is on to finish it which I did in two days.
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, #1 Internationally bestselling author of STRANGE SALLY DIAMOND
