The Midnight Heiress A Dead Heiress. A Mysterious Note. A Killer on the Loose.

When Lady Beatrice Marchmont—a dazzling yet divisive London heiress—is found strangled in her family’s estate during a glittering gala, the whispers of scandal quickly turn to murmurs of murder. The only clue left behind? A cryptic note reading The clock strikes twelve.

Enter Rupert Langley, the suave and unflappable gentleman detective whose charm is rivaled only by his razor-sharp wit. Thrust into a case teeming with greed, betrayal, and shadows of a secret society known only as The Twelve, Rupert must navigate the dark alleys of London and the gilded halls of high society to unmask a killer who grows bolder with every move.

But when Charles Marchmont, Beatrice’s estranged stepbrother, is found poisoned the very next day, it becomes clear the murderer is playing a deadly game—one where time is running out, and no one is safe.
