In this new hardcover edition of In the Midnight Hour, Award-winning journalist and New York Times bestselling author, Peg Tyre pens an exclusive foreword. Kate Murray, the once novice reporter covering the crime beat for a New York City tabloid now makes an uncertain foray into TV news as a producer and live-feed reporter. Her career worries are ever present but her ex-lover Detective John Finn, has it worse. The two meet once again, this time over bodies gone cold in the street, casualties of a drug bust gone wrong. One is a fellow cop, the other an unarmed seller. When Finn sees another cop being set up as the fall guy for the murder, and realizes his supervisor has ties to organized crime he gathers evidence to confront the corruption head on. Finn, battling his alcoholism, police corruption, and now faced with feelings that Kate has harbored for the two years they've been apart might just be too much. Can Kate and and Finn reconcile while a police scandal swallows them up? Will trying to protect one another simply push each other away once more? Ultimately Kate makes a choice between advancing her career, or giving love a second chance.
