From Charlaine Harris, the bestselling author who created Sookie Stackhouse, the world of Bon Temps, Louisiana, comes a new, darker world - populated by more strangers than friends. But then, that's how the locals prefer it? Welcome to Midnight, Texas, a town with many boarded-up windows and few full-time inhabitants, located at the crossing of Witch Light Road and Davy Road. It's a pretty standard dried-up western town. There's a pawnshop (someone lives in the basement and is seen only at night) . There's a diner (people who are just passing through tend not to linger) . And there's new resident Manfred Bernardo, who thinks he's found the perfect place to work in private (and who has secrets of his own) . Stop at the one traffic light in town, and everything looks normal. Stay awhile, and learn the truth...
