Pages : 370
Book Description
The second book in New York Times-bestselling Seanan McGuire's witty urban fantasy InCryptid series about a family of cryptozoologists who act as a buffer between humans and the magical creatures living in secret around us. "The only thing more fun than an October Daye book is an InCryptid book." —Charlaine Harris, #1 New York Times-bestselling author of Sookie Stackhouse series Normal, adjective: Conforming to the standard or common type. See also "ordinary." Abnormal, adjective: Deviating from the common type, such as playing monster-human on the rooftops of Manhattan. See also "Verity Price." The Price family has spent generations studying the monsters of the world, working to protect them from humanity—and to protect humanity from them. Verity Price is just trying to do her job, keeping the native cryptid population of Manhattan from getting into trouble, and doing a little ballroom dancing on the side. Enter Dominic De Luca, an operative for the Covenant of St. George, and Verity's on-again, off-again boyfriend. When he tells her that the Covenant is sending a full team to assess how ready the city is for a purge, Verity finds herself between a rock and a hard place. Stay, and risk her almost-certain death, or flee, and leave the cryptids of New York with nothing between them and the Covenant. With allies and enemies on every side, and no safe way to turn, it's going to take some quickstepping for Verity to waltz out of this one. There's just one question on everyone's mind: Is this the last dance for Verity Price?

What if the road not taken was actually the path meant to be?Finn Lanigan kissed a young Blythe Heywood one last time under a star-scattered Idaho sky. "If you change your mind, here's this."It was the last kiss that ever weakened her knees, the last sky she noticed for over a dozen years.

Thirteen years later, her husband leaves Blythe for his young associate. Devastated, she's unable to imagine the next chapter of her life as she packs her family's belongings. With only the name of the small town where he once lived and the memory of their last kiss, Blythe heads across the Pacific Northwest in search of Finn.

Book Description
MIDNIGHT BLUE is a work of fiction, set in New Jersey. It is composed of part crime drama and romance narrative, centered on the life and actions of the protagonist Khalil Petersen. Petersen is a sergeant in a police department corrupt by greed of a few dishonest men in power.Petersen is working on a rape/murder case of a 15-year-old runaway, which takes place on New Year's Eve. He has also rekindled the love he had for a woman from his college days by the name of Athena Gibson who has uncanny ties to the victim and has vital information that will help solve the case!MIDNIGHT BLUE is written in the third person which aids the readers to become more involved in the story as they experience the thoughts and emotions of each of the characters, allowing for different perspectives.Finally, MIDNIGHT BLUE is a detective drama that includes several story lines into a story of the triumph of a sincere and honest cop in his professional and personal life. This book is a must-read for those who enjoy crime narratives with a romantic subplot. Special thanks to several friends who are former police officers. Their input on some terminology and police procedures was greatly appreciated.Kudos also to photographer Randolph Waterman of Brooklyn, NY; book cover was designed by Ms. Atsede Elegba, and model was Mr. Wayne Powell. Copyright by Tracy L. Moore."Midnight Blue' Brings Child Exploitation and Sordid Police Corruption Front and Center in Bold New Crime Novel Author Tracy L. Moore illuminates a gritty, urban landscape through the lens of personal experience.Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) February 7, 2008 -- With an unflinching gaze, "Midnight Blue" takes an authentic, often stunning look at life on New Jersey's mean streets through the eyes of a world-weary, principled cop named Khalil Petersen. The stage is set for Petersen's perilous journey when, on a bitterly cold New Year's Eve, he finds the corpse of a 15-year-old runaway who had been savagely raped and murdered on the streets of East Orange. In the tradition of HBO's "The Wire," where street heroes and villains shapeshift with each new lead, this compelling crime/romance novel intricately weaves Petersen's determination to give voice to the voiceless---through the mysterious, tragic runaway he calls "Baby J"---together with his campaign against corruption in his precinct. In death, Baby J manages to lead Petersen through a cavernous underworld of crime and child exploitation. The trek ultimately brings Petersen face-to-face with his own ethos and character, as he takes on bad police long embroiled in practices the "good old boys" consider a perk--sexually abusing women in custody. When Petersen's former friend and love interest, Athena Gibson, arrives on the scene with uncanny ties to Baby J, Petersen learns he is not alone in his quest for justice. "Midnight Blue" is an inspirational work of suspense and intrigue depicting ordinary people who triumph in extraordinary ways. The recently published Suspense/Romance paperback is available worldwide on such book retailer websites as Amazon, Barnes & Noble and Target, among others.Originally, "Midnight Blue" was promoted as a work of fiction. Recently, however, the author revealed that the book was largely born of real-life experiences, a fact that could not legally be divulged prior to the novel's publication. Moore revealed how the victims of juvenile crimes are often victimized yet again by the very institutions they turn to for protection.
