At Midnight Comes the Cry: A Clare Fergusson/Russ Van Alstyne Mystery (Fergusson/Van Alstyne Mysteries Book 10)

It's Christmas in Millers Kill, and Reverend Clare Fergusson and her husband Russ van Alstyne—recently resigned from his position as chief of police—are looking forward to the holiday with their baby. Their plans include visiting Santa, decorating the tree, and attending the church Christmas pageant. When white supremacists crash a beloved holiday parade, Clare and Russ are drawn into a world involving militias, conspiracies, and murder. Officer Hadley Knox, a single mother balancing her children and police work, grows increasingly concerned when her former partner Kevin Flynn takes leave from the Syracuse PD and disappears. Novice lawyer Joy Zhào is conducting an unauthorized investigation into an alt-right conspiracy at the state Attorney General's Office, hoping to advance her career. NYS Forest Ranger Paul Terrance searches for his missing uncle, a veteran of the park service, and is skeptical when an ex-cop and out-of-town officer appear in his territory. As Christmas approaches, these five people discover their separate concerns are connected by a single thread leading to the High Peaks of the Adirondacks. With December days shortening, they must unravel a murderous plot before time runs out.
