A chilling tale of inexplicable deaths and spine-
tingling terror from the unparalleled master of 
suspense.

Strange deaths have occurred in picturesque Moon-
light Cove, an idyllic northern California coastal 
town--"the edge of paradise" to some but increas-
ingly the edge of sheer terror for others. Certain 
residents harbor a secret so dark it could cost even 
more lives-in and beyond Moonlight Cove.

Tessa Lockland comes to town to probe her sister's 
seemingly unprompted suicide.  Unusually hopeful 
and unfailingly optimistic, Janice was hardly the 
sort to take her own life. Tessa comes harrowingly 
close to the secret of Moonlight Cove...and in the 
process places her own life in jeopardy.

Sam Booker, haunted by ghosts of his own, is another 
town newcomer.  A federal agent operating under cover, 
Sam has been sent to Moonlight Cove after the formal 
FBI investigation failed to discover the truth behind 
the mysterious string of deaths. He's faced terror 
before, but nothing he's encountered has prepared him 
for the crippling fear that seizes him in Moonlight 
Cove.

Chrissie Foster, an eleven-year-old whose family lives 
on a ranch in the hills north of town, is on the run 
from her parents.  They are not the same loving people 
who raised her; they've changed. Darkness dwells in 
them now. And they are bent on instilling that darkness 
in their daughter.

Harry Talbot, a wheelchair-bound veteran, lives with his 
faithful dog, Moose. From his windows, Harry has seen 
things he was not meant to see, things he can scarcely 
believe. If the wrong people learn all he's witnessed, 
neither Moose nor Harry's skill with a revolver will keep 
the two safe.

In MIDNIGHT, these four will be drawn together to make a 
stand against the swiftly descending darkness that may 
soon bring endless night to Moonlight Cove.
