The first suspenseful thriller in the Midnight series from Wall Street Journal bestselling author Melinda Leigh.

When two hikers disappear off their hometown in Maine, everyone blames the blinding storms. But the truth is a lot more sinister. Unacquainted with the risk, tabloid professional photographer Jayne Sullivan comes after an anonymous suggestion to find the most reclusive sculptor in the art world. Rather, she finds mysterious handyman Reed Kimball-and a little town filled with fatal secrets.

Five years back, Reed buried his homicide detective career together with his wife. But when a hiker is available dead, the local police key asks Reed for help. Why was a Celtic gold coin found under the body? And where is the second hiker? Eager to avoid the mass media, Reed doesn’t want a murder, a lacking person, or a nosey photographer. Until Jayne can be attacked, and he realizes that her courage is normally his undoing. Reed must risk everything to protect her and discover a cunning killer.
