    About this audiobook

    “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.

    • 5/5
      Despite the plethora of vampire/zombie/werewolf stories flooding the shelves recently it’s been a long time since I read a so-called ‘supernatural thriller’ that did actually thrill me: Midnight is a chiller par excellence and has restored my faith in the genre. Midnight is the sequel to Nightfall but works well as a stand alone: former copper Jack Nightingale discovers he was sold to the devil by his Satanist dad as a newborn and, having dodged that bullet, now learns he has a [previously unknown] sister who has also been promised to the inferno. Viewed with suspicion by his former colleagues in the police, under constant threat by ‘the powers of darkness’ and with friends and family dying horribly, Jack battles to save the soul of his stranger sister – and succeeds, but at a price… The next book promises creeping terror galore!
    • 5/5
      Jack Nightingale has saved his own soul and now has to save his sister's. This is the second in the Jack Nightingale trilogy and it picks up exactly where we left off in book 1 - Nightfall.More weird spirits, spells, horror, suspense and mystery.A thoroughly good read - Stephen Leather has kept up the story extremely well.Still highly recommended.
