In this pulse-pounding thriller, a once-in-a-lifetime trip to Antarctica--to camp beneath the legendary midnight sun--becomes a desperate battle for survival against a killer determined to follow their prey to the ends of the earth. "Midnight is a clever mystery, a twisting page-turner, and a blistering adventure." --Chris Whitaker, New York Times bestselling author of We Begin at the End THE SUN NEVER SETS AND THIS KILLER NEVER SLEEPS Olivia Campbell has always dreamed of spending a sunlit night on the frigid Antarctic continent. But as an actuary who assesses risk for a living, she never imagined she would have the chance. So when her career takes an unexpected detour, and her boyfriend--a high-powered art dealer with a taste for the finer things in life--decides to stage an ostentatious, career-making auction on a luxury liner to Antarctica, Olivia is thrilled. That is, until things start to feel a bit strange. In addition to the scores of wealthy patrons and potential buyers, they'll also be traveling alongside a small group of beleaguered employees of Pioneer Adventures--the company responsible for managing the ship--and their charismatic, divisive CEO. When the first bodies are discovered, it's easy enough for Olivia to write it off as a terrible accident. But as the situation heats up and the temperatures continue to plummet, she begins to wonder whether she might have booked a one-way ticket to her own demise.

Critical Reviews
Praise for Amy McCulloch's Midnight "Enthralling. . . . Combines an intricate murder mystery with lyrical passages describing ice cliffs and spectacular skies. . . . [McCulloch] has an eye for edgy and unusual settings, and the new novel is easily as good as her first." --Sunday Times (UK) "Amy McCulloch is the ice queen of the stone-cold, twisting thriller. Midnight is chillingly atmospheric, with sub-zero tension and a creeping plot that makes it impossible to look away. I will never not read what she writes!" --Janice Hallett, internationally bestselling author of The Appeal "Chills, thrills and intense suspense. . . . Midnight is a clever mystery, a twisting page-turner, and a blistering adventure." --Chris Whitaker, New York Times bestselling author of We Begin at the End "A chilling, atmospheric rollercoaster of a read filled with clever unpredictable twists and beautiful imagery of Antarctica. I loved it! Amy McCulloch is the queen of the adventure thriller! --Claire Douglas, author of The Girls Who Disappeared "In Midnight, Amy McCulloch takes us on her most adrenaline-fuelled adventure yet. Transportive, absorbing and perfectly paced. You won't want to miss it!" --Lucy Clarke, author of One of the Girls
