Publisher Description
“Your sister is going to hell, Jack Nightingale.”
Somehow, variations of that line keep former police negotiator Nightingale’s life careening in wild, unforeseen directions. This time, it is uttered by a dead woman hanging over a staircase, her neck broken by the laundry cord she tied around it before tossing herself over the banister. But Jack and his sister have been separated since birth…how can he save someone he’s never met?
Nightingale goes on the hunt for the sister he never knew, but everyone he talks to about her dies horribly. It’s as if someone—or something—is determined to keep them apart. If he’s going to save her, he’s going to have to do what he does best: negotiate. But any negotiation with the forces of darkness comes at a terrible price, and first Jack must ask himself a question: is every soul worth saving?
Sharp and intense, UK master Stephen Leather’s second book in The Nightingale Trilogy is a taut, relentlessly paced thriller as terrifying and dark as midnight itself.

"When I first started to read this second outing of Jack Nightingale I had a feeling that it was going to be a repetition of the first book. How wrong I was as Stephen Leather has several twists and turns to keep us entertained. Book three beckons!"
— John (4 out of 5 stars)
Midnight Listener Reviews

" Great read. A thriller with a mixture of the supernatural. Second in the Jack Nightingale series. "
— Sarah, 2/17/2014 -
" This was slightly disappointing as it just felt like a repeat of the first novel only this time it was Jack's sister's soul that needed saving. There were some nice twists and it was enjoyable enough because of the likability of Jack and Jenny. Hopefully the third novel will bring something different. "

" It's a good series. Nothing mind blowing and a little repetitive, but enjoyable. "
— Ryan, 1/20/2014 -
" I couldn't read this fast enough! Highly recommend! "
— Katie, 1/7/2014 -
" Loved this book. Supernatural vs detective...guess who wins? "
— Sandra, 12/19/2013 -
" Not quite as creepy as the first book in the trilogy, but the cliffhanger at the end left me saying out loud, "No!" Now I am anxious for book 3! "
— Anthony, 12/6/2013 -
" A very nice continuation of the first of the series, Nightfall. Perhaps a little more meandering from the first, very tightly written novel. But a good read, nonetheless. "
— Remittance, 12/5/2013 -
" I like these books, a bit different to the normal detective with supernatural overtones (his evil dad sold his and his sisters soul to the devil). Very spooky website too. "
— Petrina, 12/4/2013 -
" I hope there's a third book involving Jack Nightingale "
— Mick, 11/17/2013 -
" Leather #2. It's really unique that the series picks up just where the last book ended. Lots of mystery. Fun read. "
— Dottie, 10/17/2013 -
" A rather predictable read. Hope the third book will be better. "
— Amelia, 10/4/2013 -
" Im really starting to like reading supernatural stuff, csnt wait for the next one "
— Belinda, 9/18/2013 -
" really not what I expected: thrilling and occult, the murder mysterie worked well with the devils' intermissions and added some spice - the pacing could have been better though, the ending felt quite rushed "
— Nessaniel, 9/5/2013 -
" Would give this six stars, a roller coaster of a book, loved it from the moment I picked it up & read it a day after the first one. "
— Darren, 8/23/2013 -
" Enjoyed the story, but got very tired of the diatribe on cigarettes and coffee...seemed like he needed pages and pages of filler to lengthen his book. Might read next book but need a break. "
— Susan, 8/17/2013 -
" Cracking read, a bit predictable but fun nonetheless "
— Ali, 1/14/2013 -
" Not too shabby a follow-up. Would gave liked to see more of Robyn--but there's still one book left. "
— Emily, 11/8/2012 -
" Fun enough, but follows far too closely to the formula of the first book. "
