Join award-winning author Gabriel Bergmoser in conversation with Rebecca Fraser as he discusses his most electrifying novel yet, High Rise.

Known for his cinematic storytelling and gripping suspense, Gabriel Bergmoser returns with High Rise—a pulse-pounding, action-packed survival story set in a crumbling Melbourne high-rise. Think Die Hard meets The Raid, with a uniquely Australian twist and a dose of dark humour.

The novel follows estranged father and ex-cop Jack Carlin as he tracks his daughter to the top floor of a building teeming with ruthless gang members and bounty hunters. What unfolds is a brutal, floor-by-floor battle for survival, packed with emotional stakes and explosive action.

Bergmoser is the author of acclaimed thrillers The Hunted, The Inheritance, and The Caretaker, with The Hunted currently being adapted into a major film. His work spans adult fiction, YA, and middle-grade adventure, earning him awards and a reputation as one of Australia’s most dynamic contemporary storytellers.

Don’t miss this chance to hear Gabriel talk about the inspiration behind High Rise, his writing process, and what’s next in his ever-expanding creative universe.
