Day Shift - Charlaine Harris

Now adapted for television in SyFy UK's Midnight, Texas series, this paranormal mystery introduces Charlaine Harris's bestselling world where a small town thrives on outsiders. Midnight, Texas appears quiet at first glance—a place with boarded-up windows, a single traffic light, and a sleepy air. Yet the town hides deeper mysteries as new events unfold around a rundown hotel and its residents, drawing police, lawyers, and journalists into the intrigue. Central to the plot is Manfred Bernado, the newest resident swept up in a deadly investigation that reveals far more than a simple renovation story.

The story unfolds in the peaceful town of Midnight, where quirky shops and the Home Cookin diner form the backdrop for a growing tension as outsiders begin to collide with local secrets. The narrative blends atmospheric suspense with paranormal elements, inviting readers to question who can be trusted when danger arrives in a town that prefers to keep to itself.

Charlaine Harris’s Midnight, Texas is a bestselling paranormal mystery, adapted for television. The novel is published as a paperback edition, spanning 307 pages, and was released by The Orion Publishing Group, with an earlier release by Gollancz in 2016.
