'A book with heart,… leads readers on a twisty journey and then culminates in a fascinating and satisfying ending' Laurie L. Dove, USA Today bestselling author of Mask of the Deer Woman

‘Tense, twisty. Will both charm and break your heart’ Karen Dionne, internationally bestselling author of The Marsh King's Daughter

Every death deserves to be investigated. But should every secret be revealed?

When the body of Danny Carn is found in a walk-in freezer after bingo night, the close-knit local community are devastated. It is mourned as a tragic accident.

Detective Harry Moberg is put on the case after preliminary enquiries are complete. His boss makes it clear what he wants the outcome to be. But Moberg is not going to accept that when the evidence is pointing elsewhere.

Except does Moberg know when to stop digging? Because there’s a fatal secret in his own childhood that is coming into play, and it threatens to bring his past crashing into this investigation.

Critic Reviews

‘THE MIDNIGHT GAME by Matthew Sullivan brings back the reclusive detective from Sullivan’s MIDNIGHT AT THE BRIGHT IDEAS BOOKSTORE, and what a case he's landed! A child is found dead in the freezer of an underfunded parochial school teetering on the brink of survival. Was the boy's death an accident, or was it murder? Moberg’s boss makes it clear what he wants the outcome to be, but Moberg won’t settle for anything but the truth. Tense, twisty, and endlessly surprising, with a cast of characters that will both charm you and break your heart, I loved this book!’ Karen Dionne, author of the #1 internationally bestselling novel The Marsh King's Daughter
'The Midnight Game is hands-down my new favorite book. I devoured this suspenseful mystery with its deftly drawn characters that became real as friends, each with their own secret motivations, quirks and charms. There’s truth about the human condition at the center of this story, which combines all the delights of a page-turning mystery with the soul-searching of what it means to truly be in community with the people around you. This is a book with heart, authentically propelled by an inexplicable crime—is it murder or an accident?—that leads readers on a twisty journey and then culminates in a fascinating and satisfying ending.' Laurie L. Dove, author of the USA Today bestselling novel, Mask of the Deer Woman
