Synopsis: &“James Ellroy meets David Lynch in this addictive mix of noir and supernatural horror&” from the acclaimed author of Zaneville and Enigmatic Pilot (Publishers Weekly, starred review). Det. Birch Ritter is a man on the edge—of himself. His past is filled with secrets, guilt, and ghosts. And his latest case is about to lead him to Genevieve, a woman who claims that her business is shadows. The widow of a recently deceased real estate mogul, her grief isn&’t entirely convincing. But she knows what lies between the darkness and the light inside men. And what she knows about Ritter is more than he can bear . . . and more than he can resist. Private Midnight is a seductive story of grit, gunplay, vampirism, and a bit of bondage, all filtered through the mind of the &“brilliantly illuminating&” author and multimedia artist Kris Saknussemm (Alain de Botton, author of How Proust Can Change Your Life). &“Off-the-wall strange and surreal—and definitely not recommended as a Mother&’s Day gift.&” —Kirkus Reviews
