The
Clock Strikes Midnight is a race against
time in a quest for revenge and atonement. This is a story about hate, love, betrayal
and forgiveness.
If
you found out you had only 3 months to live, what would you do? That’s the
question Janie Knox faces in this fast-paced mystery full of uncertainty and
tension that will surprise you until the very last page.
Hiding behind the façade of a normal life, Janie keeps her family secrets tucked inside a broken heart. Everything changes on the day she learns she’s going to die. With the clock ticking and her time running out, she rushes to finish what she couldn’t do when she was 17—destroy her mother’s killer. But she can’t do it alone.
Janie returns to her childhood
home to elicit help from her sister. She faces more than she bargained for when
she discovers her sister’s life in shambles. Meanwhile her mother’s convicted
killer, her stepfather, recently released from prison, blackmails the sisters
and plots to extract millions from the state in retribution. New revelations
challenge Janie’s resolve, but she refuses to allow either time or her enemies
to stop her from uncovering the truth she’s held captive for over 20 years.
