Investigative
journalist for WSMV-TV in Nashville, Jeremy Finley's debut thriller explores
what happens to people’s lives when our world intersects with the
unexplainable.
"The
lights took him."
When the
seven-year-old grandson of U.S. Senator vanishes in the woods behind his home,
the only witness is his older brother who whispers, “The lights took him,” and
then never speaks again.
As the FBI
and National Guard launch a massive search, the boys' grandmother Lynn
Roseworth fears only she knows the truth. But coming forward would ruin her
family and her husband’s political career.
In the late
1960s, before she became the quiet wife of a politician, Lynn was a secretary
in the astronomy department at the University of Illinois. It was there where
she began taking mysterious messages for one of the professors; messages from
people desperate to find their missing loved ones who vanished into beams of
light.
Determined
to find her beloved grandson and expose the truth, she must return to the work
she once abandoned to unravel the existence of a place long forgotten by the
world. It is there, buried deep beneath the bitter snow and the absent memories
of its inhabitants, where her grandson may finally be found.
But there
are forces that wish to silence her. And Lynn will find how far they will go to
stop her, and how the truth about her own forgotten childhood could reveal the
greatest mystery of all time.
The Darkest
Time of Night is a fast-paced debut full of suspense and government cover-ups,
perfect for thriller and supernatural fans alike.
