Harvey Elder has always known Midnight City as a place where murder lurks in every alleyway and the bizarre is just part of the skyline. Residents disappear, bodies turn up under impossible circumstances, and strange occurrences feed the city's reputation as a haven for the otherworldly. Once a respected detective, Harvey was disgraced after a tragic case involving a murdered teenage girl, and he now scrapes by on petty investigations—missing jewelry, kidnapped pets, anything that pays.

The Midnight City Mysteries series follows Detective Elder as strange events pull Harvey back into detective work. A curtain is being pulled back on the city's uncanny nature, and what lies behind it could threaten not only Midnight City, but the world as a whole.
