In this pulse-pounding thriller, a once-in-a-lifetime trip to Antarctica—to camp beneath the legendary midnight sun—becomes a desperate battle for survival against a killer determined to follow their prey to the ends of the earth.
"Midnight is a clever mystery, a twisting page-turner, and a blistering adventure." —Chris Whitaker, New York Times bestselling author of We Begin at the End
THE SUN NEVER SETS AND THIS KILLER NEVER SLEEPS

In the frigid summers of the Antarctic continent, the sun never sets, and Olivia Campbell has long dreamed of spending a sunlit night in this beautiful, remote place. So when her boyfriend—a high-powered art dealer with a taste for the finer things in life—decides to stage an ostentatious, career-making auction aboard a luxury cruise liner to Antarctica, Olivia can hardly believe her luck. That is, until the ship sets sail and her boyfriend is nowhere to be found, and she is left to manage both the auction and her own creeping fear of the open ocean entirely alone. And as though that weren't enough, the first bodies turn up soon after. 
It seems like a terrible accident. This is the Drake Passage, after all, one of the most notorious bodies of water on the planet, and there are always risks in such extreme conditions. But as the situation deteriorates, it soon becomes clear that there is real danger on board—and that the closest help is hundreds of miles away. With tensions rising and temperatures plummeting, Olivia wonders whether she's booked a fabulous adventure . . . or a one-way ticket to her own destruction.

      The art world meets the high seas in this unwieldy thriller from McCulloch (Breathless). Actuary Olivia Campbell is shakily recovering from a work-induced nervous breakdown, which has filled her with guilt because it interfered with her art curator boyfriend, Aaron’s, recent auction. Now, Aaron is planning to stage a crucial exhibition aboard a luxury cruise to Antarctica for his recently deceased star artist. Though Liv is terrified of the ocean due to her father’s death at sea, she agrees to join Aaron, both to relax and to apologize. Her spirits are high until Aaron fails to board the lavish vessel, leaving her to run his exhibition herself between bouts of seasickness and extreme anxiety. Suspicious accidents and deaths ensue, and her shipmates, both the ritzy guests and the blue-collar employees of Pioneer Adventures, whose controversial CEO organized the cruise, begin behaving strangely. McCulloch manages plenty of awe-inspiring descriptions of Antarctica, and her setup is strong, but she comes up short in the character development department, and the big reveal is a disappointment. This sails straight to the middle of the pack. Agent: Juliet Mushens, Mushens Entertainment.
