"Midnight Clear explores the family ties that bind and
blind...[It] will make you laugh, make you cry, make you mad, and make
you wonder right up until the very last page." -- Boston Globe
In this heartwarming, suspenseful, and hilarious novel, Callahan
Garrity and the outrageous band of "girls" in her Atlanta cleaning crew
join together during the Christmas rush to prove that her ne'er-do-well
brother didn't kill his tawdry estranged wife.
It's a few days before Christmas, and sometime sleuth/full-time cleaning
lady Callahan Garrity has things under control for a change, until her
brother Brian, shows up. He's kidnapped his toddler daughter, Maura,
from his estranged wife, a vengeful shrew with the law on her side.
When his ex-wife is found dead, the cops suspect Brian. To save her
brother and her holiday, Callahan, along with her irascible mom, Edna,
and a gaggle of House Mouse employees, will crisscross yuletide Atlanta,
going everywhere the search for truth leads.
