I am the legion of the night....

He appears in the darkness like a ghost, made of shadows and fear - the Midnight Man. He comes for the parents but leaves the children alive, tiny witnesses to unspeakable horror. The bedroom communities of Los Angeles are gripped with dread, and the attacks are escalating.

Still reeling from her best friend's close call in a bombing six months ago, FBI behavioral analyst Caitlin Hendrix has come to Los Angeles to assist in the Midnight Man investigation and do what she does best - hunt a serial killer. Her work is what keeps her going, but something about this UNSUB - unknown subject - doesn't sit right. She soon realizes that this case will test not only her skills but also her dedication, for within the heart of a killer lives a secret that mirrors Caitlin's own past. Hesitancy is not an option, but will she be able to do what must be done if the time comes?

Tense and impactful, Edgar Award winner Meg Gardiner's latest UNSUB thriller will leave you on the edge of your seat until its riveting conclusion.

Critic reviews

“Meg Gardiner is the next suspense superstar.” (Stephen King)

“In the third Caitlin Hendrix thriller, following the terrific UNSUB (2017) and Into the Black Nowhere (2018), a killer targets families.... Readers of the first two Hendrix novels won’t be surprised to hear that the story in this suspenseful thriller is exquisitely constructed. No by-the-numbers thriller here; this one definitely lives up to its predecessors.... Gardiner is on a roll with this series, gathering fans with each installment like a snowball gathering mass as it rumbles down a hill.” (Booklist)

“Meg Gardiner treats readers to her very best work yet…I am so high on this book. Of all the 2020 titles I’ve read over the last 4-6 months, this is easily one of my favorites.” (The Real Book Spy)

Amazing series

I absolutely loved this series and ate it up from the beginning. The only thing that I'm not very happy with is when I started it I thought it was a completed series. It's been 2 years and there hasn't been another book out. But now that I just finished this book I realized it was left open so it's not finished . The main person she's been after since book one is still out there. With that being said the book does not get left on a cliff hanger and you do leave feeling satisfied to a degree so I still highly recommend reading this series. I just hope the author writes the next one soon.

It’s was ok I guess

I was honestly let down a little. I imagine I expected more from the story line. It’s law & order meets criminal minds with out Elliot stabler. It was jus ok.

Librarians of the world thank you for your dedication : -) And thanks for this better than average thriller. The opening was good as the spectre of a
very odd killer starts tingles slipping up and down the spine of our Special Agent. Mixing the FBI with a forensic psychiatrist added
a lot to this investigation. The obligatory cars chasing scene was the best I've heard - with the fascinating sub-car terror plot our author drops us in. Just listen, you'll feel your own spine
tingling. No gross blood & guts
here jusr lots of thrills.

Great book!

Enjoyed all aspects of this book! I listen to Audible as I run. I had very fast times! Meg Gardiner is a new author to me. I’ve also listened to the two previous books in the “Unsub” series. Can’t wait for the next in the series. I found the first book by searching the narrator, Hillary Huber, one of my favorite narrators.

Details and action

This was unexpected in many ways. Surprise then drawn into story completely. Couldn’t stop listening.

Babble

Too much psycho babble! The story would have been much better with fewer forced adjectives.

Great Series

Love the characters, narration and story. Hopefuly there is another book? Looking forward to more.

Good Suspense...

Good book. Good series. Excellent narration. I hope this is bland enough for Audible. They still haven’t posted my last from three days ago and took two other older reviews down. Go figure.
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

Thank You,

So booring I couldn’t finish

Completely implausible to the pond of being ludicrous. But even if you suspend disbelief, where is the suspense? Absolutely absent. Wasn’t worth finishing. Won’t waste my time on next installment.

Good Book

A very action packed, very well written book. It was creepy, very vivid another great book in this series. Looking forward to the next book.
