Under the Midnight Sky

When a girl goes missing, journalist Abby Bardot knows the town's dark secret isn't buried as deep as everyone believes.

Haunted by her own childhood abduction, small-town journalist Abby has always secretly feared the wrong man was imprisoned. So when a teenager disappears from the nearby forest reserve, she's determined to finally expose the truth—even if it lays bare everything the town wants to forget.

But someone doesn't want the past disturbed.

When the newspaper tries to kill her story, Abby turns to reclusive crime writer Tom Gabriel for help. Tom is cynical and closed off, but his resistance crumbles when they discover a hidden attic in his house—with evidence of imprisonment from over sixty years ago.

And diary pages from the 1940s—written by one of two sisters who vanished without a trace.

The deeper Abby and Tom dig into the past, the more convinced they become that the old diary pages hold the key to finding the missing teenager alive. But someone will kill to keep the truth buried—and the girl's time is running out. Can Abby and Tom overcome their own scars to solve a decades-old mystery and save an innocent life? Or will confronting the past destroy their chance at love—and cost them everything?

A dual-timeline romantic mystery from bestseller Anna Romer
