In the vibrant heart of a London amusement park, a world of dazzling lights and dark secrets unfolds when a man is found dead on the Ferris wheel. Detective Davenport, known for his unique mix of intuition and confusion, is called in to investigate this seemingly inexplicable murder.
Amidst flashing rides and eccentric characters, Davenport dives into an investigation that drags him through a tangled web of suspects, hidden motives, and cryptic clues. Every corner of the park seems to conceal a disturbing truth: a shooting gallery plaque with a significant symbol, flickering lights that relay secret messages, underground tunnels connecting distant attractions, and a compromising recording revealing hidden tensions.
As the case becomes more convoluted, shocking truths about the victim come to light: not only was he the park's impresario, but he also led a double life as a ruthless loan shark, exploiting his own employees. This revelation casts suspicion on everyone, increasing both the number of suspects and the potential motives for murder.
Davenport must navigate a labyrinth of false alibis, contradictory confessions, and seemingly promising leads that turn into dead ends. Will he uncover the culprit, delivering one last unexpected twist?
