A forgotten house on a mountain. A boy who walked out of a blizzard with no name. A hunger that has been waiting for over a century.

When a strange boy is found wandering a snow-covered road with no memory of who he is or where he came from, Mirabelle and her friends in the Detective Agency know this is no ordinary case. The boy, Leo, escaped from something. Something that followed him down from the mountain. Something that has been taking people from the town of Burgess for generations.

As the worst winter in decades buries their New England town, the young detectives uncover the truth about a house that doesn't appear on any map—a place that isn't just a building, but a living hunger. With the help of Uta's unsettling visions, Everleigh's deep intuition, and Connor's research, they discover that the house has been collecting souls for centuries, and Leo was meant to be its final prize.

But the house is not alone. An older, more terrifying force is coming to claim what was lost: the Collector, an ancient being who has been gathering souls since before human history began. And he has set his sights on the children who dare to stand in his way.

To save their friend and their town, the Detective Agency must journey into a house that breathes, face a hunger that has no end, and open a door that can never be closed. But some doors lead to places you can never return from... and some hungers can never be satisfied.

From the world of Mirabelle and Everleigh, THE NIGHT COUNTRY is the chilling third installment in THE DETECTIVE AGENCY series, where friendship is the only light against an ancient dark, and five children must stand together against a force that has been waiting for them since the beginning of time.
