Blacker Than Midnight
The killer is dead. His last words died with him.
But someone just whispered them to his only surviving victim.
Twelve years ago, five friends went to Deadwater Lake for one last weekend together after graduation. By sunrise, four were dead. Only Geneva Bell survived.
When she watched the killer’s execution, Geneva thought her nightmare was finally over. Now someone is leaving her messages, repeating the words he whispered as she thought her life was ending. Words she swears she never told a soul.
With nowhere else to turn and no faith in the police, Geneva brings the messages to private investigator Mercy Gale. The moment Mercy hears that voice, she knows she can’t let it go.
Mercy is relentless once a case gets under her skin, and this one already has. Her father, legendary defense attorney Tom Gale, is helping her chase the truth, his instincts as sharp as ever. But Mercy can see the cracks in his brilliant mind widening. Every day, a little more of him slips away.
Everyone else considers the case closed. But Mercy knows that whatever happened at Deadwater Lake didn’t end with four dead girls, or with the execution of their killer.
And someone will do anything to make sure Mercy never learns the truth.
Blacker than Midnight is the second gripping installment in the Mercy Gale Mystery Thriller Series, packed with chilling family secrets, shocking twists, and a fearless private investigator who will stop at nothing to find the truth. Perfect for fans of Karin Slaughter, Lisa Scottoline, and John Grisham.
