Elias Graves is the last man anyone at The Black Hollow Gazette would fear. By day, he is a tall, awkward newspaper writer with eyeglasses, bad coffee habits, and a talent for tripping over office furniture. His editor thinks he is hopeless. His best friend thinks he needs sleep. And crime photographer Clara Bell thinks he is hiding something. She is right. By night, Elias becomes the Saint of Midnight, a handsome demon hunter armed with a holy gun named Mercy.
While the city sleeps, he hunts vampires, demons, cursed spirits, and monsters hiding behind ordinary faces. But when tomorrow's deaths begin appearing in the newspaper before they happen, Elias realizes something ancient has infected the Gazette itself. Cursed ink is spreading through the city, midnight deadlines are turning into death sentences, and a demon prince named Malachar is using the paper to open a gate beneath Black Hollow.
Now Elias must protect the city, solve the mystery, survive Clara's questions, keep Rocco from panicking at the worst possible times, and stop hell from making the morning edition. Funny, fast, emotional, and packed with supernatural action, Deadline at Midnight is a comedy-action demon-hunter mystery about secrets, courage, cursed headlines, and the dangerous things that happen after dark.
