Nine strangers step into an elevator.
Seconds later, it stops between floors.
The lights flicker.
The power dies.
And the doors won't open.
No signal.
No way out.
No one coming to help.
Then they see them.
A maintenance worker with a crushed helmet.
A pregnant woman in a hospital gown.
They appear silently in the corner of the elevator. They never speak. They never touch anyone. But minutes after they show up... someone dies.
As panic spreads and the body count rises, the survivors uncover a chilling connection: every person in the elevator was tied to a hospital wing collapse eight years earlier-a disaster blamed on structural fatigue and quickly buried.
But the building didn't fail.
It was allowed to fail.
Trapped in a steel box with ghosts that only watch, the last survivors must piece together the truth before they become the next victims. Because the apparitions aren't there for revenge.
They're there to make sure someone lives long enough to remember.
The Last Ride Down is the second novel in The Witness Cycle, a claustrophobic supernatural horror series filled with brutal on-page deaths, rising paranoia, and buried disasters that refuse to stay forgotten.
