A Minute to Midnight

“My sister was abducted from here nearly thirty years ago. The person who took her was never found. And neither was she. Her abductor nearly killed me. So I’m back now to find the truth.”

Atlee Pine has spent her entire life haunted by what happened that night in Andersonville, Georgia. When she was six, her twin sister Mercy was abducted while their parents partied downstairs. Atlee was left for dead. The case was never solved, and one figure has lingered in her mind ever since: Daniel James Tor, a notorious serial killer serving time in a Colorado maximum-security prison. But does he truly know what happened to Mercy?

After the tragedy, the family fell apart. They moved away, her parents divorced, and Atlee devoted herself to a career with the FBI, determined to hunt down those who hurt others. When a high-stakes arrest goes too far, she’s forced to take a leave of absence—giving her the perfect chance to return to where it all began.

But her search for answers in Andersonville unleashes a whirlwind of murder, buried secrets, and lies. And the revelations she uncovers will shatter everything she thought she knew about her family, her past, and herself.
