Synopsis

Midnight, Texas, is a small town where people with secrets go to be left alone. Its residents include witches, werewolves, killers and psychics, and most of them would like to stay unnoticed.

That quiet breaks when guns and other weapons start leaving the local pawnshop. Each one ends up in a sudden, violent suicide at the town's main crossroads, and nobody can say why the blood keeps being spilled.

The vampire Lemuel is the one best placed to find out. He spends his time translating mysterious texts, and the work leads him to the reason Midnight is what it is and why such a mix of people has been drawn there.

The residents have to pool what they know and act together to end the deaths. If the trouble at the crossroads spreads into something worse, outsiders will turn their attention to Midnight, which is the last thing the town wants. This is a new novel in the Midnight, Texas setting, with a supernatural mystery at its centre.
