Synopsis
&“Hitchcock would have loved Midnight&’s twisty, original plot. . . . A fast, fun read fueled by a clever premise and well-developed characters&” (Phillip Margolin, New York Times–bestselling author). A Kirkus Reviews Best Book of the Year New Year&’s Eve is just another night for Carol Scilingo and Tom Carroway, secretary and law clerk for Judge Canter. The holiday might have been different if single mom Carol didn&’t have her young son and aging mother to care for, or if Tom wasn&’t struggling with a gambling addiction that&’s left him deeply in debt to a loan shark. But here they are, on the last day of the year, waiting for the judge to rule on a controversial union decision so they can go home to their respective homes and watch the ball drop on TV. Only their day—and lives—take a dramatic turn when Tom finds Judge Cantor dead in his chambers. When a judge dies, the staff keep their jobs until the end of that year. Unless they want to be unemployed in a few hours, Tom and Carol will have to pretend the judge is still alive until midnight. Their plan is simple, until corruption and greed force them into a twisted conspiracy that will unearth their darkest secrets and lies . . . &“With relentless suspense, cinematic pacing and a twist around every corner, Kevin Egan creates a brand-new genre: legal thriller noir.&” —Hank Phillippi Ryan, USA Today–bestselling author &“The most bracingly original thriller of the year. Egan&’s deliciously devious novel asks and then answers the perfect question: How far would you go to keep your job?&” —Jon Land, USA Today–bestselling author
