Sensational novelist Caroline Fordyce attends a séance
gathering information for an upcoming book. After her
departure, the psychic is brutally murdered. Having
survived a devastating scandal three years ago, Caroline
cannot afford to be linked to another. Her writing supports
her elderly aunts and another scandal could destroy her
career and leave them insolvent. Afraid the police will
suspect her, Caroline decides to uncover the killer
herself.
Adam Hardesty thought his past was well behind him, until
an unknown blackmailer threatens to reveal it. Realizing
the cost of exposure will ruin his brother and sisters,
Adam attempts to hunt down the villain. His clues lead him
to a possible suspect, Caroline Fordyce. Adam, an excellent
judge of character, realizes she's not the killer, but she
holds secrets that could lead to complications. He admires
her spirit, but he does not need any more confusion in his
life. However, Caroline refuses to step aside and insists
she will assist him.
As Caroline and Adam join forces to uncover the murderer,
they become deeply involved with illusionists and con
artists as they search for the truth. The danger
dramatically increases for them as they get closer to the
truth.
WAIT UNTIL MIDNIGHT is Ms. Quick's first paperback original
in more than a decade. It features one of her favored
themes concerning the supernatural and metaphysical.
Instead of the Regency era, she sets it during the
Victorian period, while making it darker and edgier. Ms.
Quick delivers what her fans enjoy -- an intriguing mystery
and strong, likable characters.
The sins of Adam Hardesty's past have been discovered. And
if he does not hunt down his blackmailer quickly, his
secrets will be revealed to all...
But there is an obstacle in his way: sensation novelist
Caroline Fordyce. She knows that Adam's quest for justice
could shatter her own reputation—and mire her family in
lethal scandal. And she fears what he may find.
Together, they will navigate the shadow side of London,
venturing into an underworld of cutthroats, connivers, and
illusionists. And as the mystery grows ever deeper and the
danger circles ever closer, they must guard not only their
secrets but their lives...
