This Side of Midnight (A John Bekker Mystery)

John Bekker is called back to action when his close friend Sheriff Jane Morgan seeks his help with a perplexing mystery.



Norman Felton, a resident of Midnight Island, drove his car to the mainland county high school and, in an out-of-control rage, beat an exchange student nearly to death with a baseball bat before being shot by sheriff's deputies. Felton's fourteen-year-old daughter Amanda is missing, and with each passing day the odds of finding her grow slimmer. Bekker works around the clock ferreting out details until slowly the puzzle comes together and he makes a shocking discovery that will take him to a dark and dangerous place.
