The Drop - by S R Masters (Paperback)

About the Book

"A terrifyingly twisty, wholly original thriller following a group of amusement park visitors who get stuck on a roller coaster high above the ground--with no way down"-- Provided by publisher.

Book Synopsis

A claustrophobic psychological thriller about toxic friendships, buried secrets, and a locked-room nightmare suspended 650 feet in the air.

Theme park influencer Cady Ellison knows how to turn a moment into content--even a reunion with the four friends she hasn't seen since their friendship imploded years ago. But when they board the world's tallest roller coaster, the ride doesn't go as planned.

It stops at the very top.

Stranded hundreds of feet above the ground in brutal desert heat, there's nowhere to hide. And it doesn't take long for the group to realize this isn't just a malfunction.

Because the five of them share more than a complicated past.

They share secrets someone may be willing to kill for.
