About the Book: Winter 1946. One cold dark night, as a devastated London shivers through the transition to post-war life, a young nurse goes missing from the South London Hospital for Women & Children. Her body is discovered hours later behind a locked door.

Two women from the hospital join forces to investigate the case. Determined not to return to the futures laid out for them before the war, the unlikely sleuths must face their own demons and dilemmas as they pursue - The Midnight Man.

BEWARE THE DARKNESS

About the Beverage: Julie recommends pairing her book with a Southside cocktail a 1940s cocktail, made with gin, lime juice, mint leaves and cane syrup, sometimes with fizz added because “my main characters live and work, in 1946, at the South London Hospital for Women and Children, which is on Clapham Common Southside. They drink this cocktail because of its name and because they can get the ingredients to make it.”

About the Author: Julie Anderson is the CWA Dagger listed author of three Whitehall thrillers and a short series of historical adventure stories for young adults. Before becoming a crime fiction writer, she was a senior civil servant, working across a variety of departments and agencies, including the Office of the Deputy Prime Minister. Unlike her protagonists, however, she doesn’t know where (all) the bodies are buried. She writes crime fiction reviews for Time and Leisure Magazine and is a co-founder and Trustee of the Clapham Book Festival.

She lives in south London where her latest crime fiction series is set, returning to her first love of writing historical fiction with The Midnight Man, to be published by Hobeck.

THE MIDNIGHT MAN is available at all good bookshops as well as Amazon Ppbk, Amazon ebook, Waterstone Ppbk, and Hobeck.
