A Midnight Clear

The stroke of midnight brings murder.

What could be more magical than a black tie Christmas party where those attending will socialize and rub elbows with the most prominent lawyers and judges in the state? Kay is enjoying the food, the wine, the conversation—and a dance with Judge Beck to the music of an elegant string quartet.

But when she finds a dead body in an upstairs bathroom, Kay’s fairytale evening hits a sour note. Is the murderer a jilted lover? A rival for a lucrative position? A disgruntled client? With the dead man’s ghost demanding justice, Kay races against time to find the killer before the police arrest the wrong person.
