The Midnight Game by Matthew Sullivan, book cover

A stand-alone novel set in 1980s East Colfax, Denver. Detective Harry Moberg works the case of a person found dead in a walk-in freezer at his impoverished school: accident or homicide, and why do the details mirror his own origin story? It ends where Midnight at the Bright Ideas Bookstore begins.
