The Night the Ferris Wheel Stopped

About this book:

When the historic Grand Century Wheel grinds to a halt at midnight, five friends are stranded eighty feet above a deserted fairgrounds—directly above a fresh kill. With the power cut, the operator vanished, and zero cell service, the only light comes from a single flashlight beam sweeping up from the midway, wielded by a man with a terrifying temper and a bloody wrench lying at his feet. Someone below committed murder. Someone above is hiding a secret. And the wheel isn't the only thing about to come crashing down.

As the temperature drops and the metal groans, old fractures in the group split wide open: the golden couple whose romance is rotting from the inside, the scholarship kid counting every ticket, the quiet cousin with a past nobody discusses, and the narrator watching it all through a lens that may already be cracked. Every chapter rotates the perspective, revealing alibis that don't hold, motives that reach back years, and a carnival master's ledger that balances in blood. The killer isn't just on the ground—they're locked in a gondola, breathing the same freezing air, waiting for the lights to come back on.

Part locked-room mystery, part survival thriller, *The Night the Ferris Wheel Stopped* traps you in a steel cage above a crime scene where every creak of the frame sounds like a confession. With twenty-six chapters that spiral toward a final rotation you won't see coming, this is a razor-sharp, atmospheric page-turner that proves the scariest rides aren't the ones that move—they're the ones that leave you hanging.
