Synopsis
“David Lynch meets Agatha Christie in this razor-sharp, nightmare of a thriller.” —Brad Thor, #1 New York Times bestselling author
For fans of Stuart Turton and Blake Crouch, a mind-bending locked-room thriller about eight strangers trapped in a remote Texas motel as they race against time to save their lives—from the acclaimed author of the “compelling, thought-provoking, page-turning” (Paul Tremblay, author of The Cabin at the End of the World) No Road Home.
In the frigid west Texas desert, weary travelers converge at a lonely roadside motel nestled at the foot of a massive mountain. Ethan and Hunter have left behind a corpse and a horrific act of violence. Kyla and Fernanda are fleeing for the border. Stanley and his granddaughter are returning from Mexico with a mysterious man in hot pursuit. All of them are on the run from something. All of them are hiding something.
And somehow, they’re all connected to the motel’s other guest, an enigmatic woman named Sarah Powers.
Within hours, Sarah is dead. The strange twins who run the Brake Inn Motel offer the guests an ultimatum: uncover the killer by midnight—or die when the protective lights around the motel go out. Because something very old and very dangerous lurks in this corner of the desert. And it’s hungry.
As time ticks away, alliances fracture, secrets unravel, and the guests will not only have to confront the violence of the past but also face the darkness within themselves.
A masterful blend of psychological tension, supernatural horror, and layered storytelling, The Midnight Knock “takes you on an eerie journey through the wide open and desolate landscape of Texas where everyone is a suspect. All the thrills of an escape room, all the chills of a Stephen King novel. You will be left guessing until the very last page” (Ashley Elston, #1 New York Times bestselling author).
