Midnight Murders

Product Description

Compton Castle is a Victorian psychiatric hospital long overdue for demolition. Its warrens of rooms & acres of grounds, originally designed as a sanctuary for the mentally ill, now provide the ideal stalking ground for a serial killer. Physically & mentally battered after his last case, Sergeant Trevor Joseph is a temporary inmate
- but the hospital loses all therapeutic benefit when a corpse is dug out of a flowerbed. Then more bodies are found; young, female & both linked to the hospital. Everyone within the mouldering walls is in danger while a highly unpredictable malevolence remains at large. &, as patients & staff are interrogated by the police, the apparently motiveless killer watches & waits for the opportunity to strike again... The pit reeks of rot & decay. Staring upwards she can see the sky, the moon, the trees & the silhouette of her killer as earth is shovelled over her. Another shower comes down... There can be no more fight for air
- for anything. Only a soft blackness that caresses & envelops, plunging her into the darkest oblivion of all. Now she knows that she is going to die.
