The Midnight Side

A phone call from the dead. Lucid dreaming. A ghost manipulating the London stock exchange. And a seductive woman who, even from the grave, is able to manipulate events to her satisfaction. The Midnight Side is a haunting story of obsession and revenge where even the dead have secrets. ‘...murky, gloomily-lit suspense...a Dickensian picture of foggy London that is as compelling as the unfolding drama.’ The Times (London)
