    About the Book

    NATIONAL BESTSELLER

    In the wild interior of the Yucatán, far from the lazy beaches of Cancún, two young couples and some new-found friends venture to the site of an ancient Mayan temple, in pursuit of another in their group. What started out as a day trip spirals into a nightmare when they reach the ruins...and discover the terrifying presence that lurks there.

    "Like having a rope tied firmly round your middle, as you're pulled on protesting tip-toes toward a door marked DOOM." --Entertainment Weekly

    "Do not pick up a copy of Scott Smith's The Ruins if you have anything else you need to do in the next eight hours or so."
    --Salon

    "An exercise in unremitting tension."
    --The Baltimore Sun
