Summary

Summary

Max Freeman's old life ended on a night that will haunt him forever. The night he killed a twelve-year-old child in self-defense in a Philadelphia shootout. The night he stopped being a cop. Now he lives a solitary existence on the edge of the Florida Everglades, where he answers to no one but the demons that eat away at his conscience. When he finds the corpse of a child beside an ancient river and another child goes missing, all eyes turn to Freeman. The ex-cop, driven by his old habits and the memories of that long-ago Philadelphia midnight, knows that he has no choice but to hunt down the seemingly unstoppable murderer himself. An electrifying story of crime, punishment, and one man's personal redemption played out against a backdrop of wild natural beauty in conflict with the modern urban world.

Editorial Reviews

Editorial Reviews

“The Blue Edge of Midnight is a terrific book that begins the run of a great new talent in Jonathon King. From start to finish it is full of true character and jagged surprises. King adds new dimension of depth and substance to the modern crime novel.” —Michael Connelly
“A remarkable debut. Whether taking us to the dark corners of the Everglades or the hard streets of Philadelphia, King's writing is gritty, vivid, and suspenseful. Jonathon King is a natural storyteller, and The Blue Edge of Midnight is the beginning of an exciting new series.” —Harlan Coben, New York Times bestselling author
“With his first novel, King jumps into James W. Hall territory and lands firmly on his feet…the author’s stylish prose and insider’s knowledge of the sinuous, dangerous Everglades give the gimmick a fresh twist…skillful writing, original characters and evocative settings initiate a welcome new series.” —Publishers Weekly
“Nick Sullivan expertly portrays former Philly cop Max Freeman, who is wrenched from his hermetic life in the Florida Everglades when he finds the body of a kidnapped child…Max's conflicted character is captured in Sullivan's muscular reading of this Edgar Award-winning novel.” —AudioFile
“A fine fit of setting with action.” —Booklist
“The sense of place and the memorable main characters carry the plot without major doses of intense violence or language.” —School Library Journal
