From the author of the mind-bending sci-fi satire Zanesville comes a noir mystery that takes us into a gritty underworld, where shadows play tricks and secrets betray. PRIVATE MIDNIGHT(The Overlook Press / ISBN: 978-1-59020-176-3) is the story of the ultimate antihero, lured down the rabbit-hole by a provocative woman with the kind of secrets that most people would be too scared to call fantasies. /nDetective Birch Ritter is a man on the edge—of himself. His past is filled with secrets, shadows, guilt and ghosts. Then a dubious police buddy he hasn’t seen in a year introduces him to a mysterious woman who says her business is shadows. She claims to know the mysteries that lie between the darkness and light inside men. But that space between holds more than Ritter may want to find out, and much more than he can resist uncovering. To try to forget is to try to conceal, and concealing evidence is a crime. But maybe revelation is another kind of crime—against nature. /nWith sharp dialogue and deft prose, Kris Saknussemm’s detective struggles to find his way through a twisted hall of mirrors. Funny, dark, and curiously perverse, PRIVATE MIDNIGHT takes noir to the limits of the genre, into a world where even the sunlight is shadowy and deviance is the norm. A journey into the seedy, sexy underbelly of life, this is crime noir for a new generation./n www.privatemidnight.com www.myspace.com/privatemidnight http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kris_Saknussemm
