FIRST IN A NEW TRILOGY - From Charlaine Harris, the bestselling author who created Sookie Stackhouse and her world of Bon Temps, Louisiana, comes a darker locale-- populated by more strangers than friends. But then, that' s how the locals prefer it. Welcome to Midnight, Texas, a town with many boarded-up windows and few full-time inhabitants, located at the crossing of Witch Light Road and Davy Road. It' s a pretty standard dried-up western town. There' s a pawnshop (someone lives in the basement and is seen only at night). There' s a diner (people who are just passing through tend not to linger). And there' s new resident Manfred Bernardo, who thinks he' s found the perfect place to work in private (and who has secrets of his own). Stop at the one traffic light in town, and everything looks normal. Stay awhile, and learn the truth...

“Bestseller Harris introduces the small town of Midnight, Tex., where the locals can all take a day off for a picnic by the river—and discover a corpse…While not ignoring the downsides of smalltown life, with too-knowing neighbors and teens desperate to get out, Harris also works in its joys and comforts. This is a solid entry in Harris’s catalogue and will do very well with her fans.”
— Publishers Weekly
“As intimate and deep as the Stackhouse novels…Harris’ latest displays her skills at interweaving the lives of her characters.”
— Library Journal (starred review)“An online psychic settles in Midnight, Texas, an unusual small town where all the residents have shadowy pasts and a lingering mystery brings unwanted attention…A little magic, a little mystery, and a lot of imagination make for a story that is both fun and edgy, and some unresolved details will keep readers coming back for more.”
— Kirkus Reviews“Megastar Harris kicks off an unusual and highly entertaining new series set in the atmospheric and mysterious town of Midnight, Texas…The fact that nothing and no one is what they first appear to be adds an eerie feel to the book. Harris has delivered a supernatural mystery with a decidedly creepy edge!”
