At thirty-six, private detective Jared McKean is coming to terms with his unjust dismissal from the Nashville Murder Squad and an unwanted divorce from a woman he still loves. Jared is a natural horseman and horse rescuer whose son has Down Syndrome, whose best friend is dying of AIDS, and whose teenage nephew, Josh, has fallen under the influence of a dangerous fringe of the Goth subculture. When the fringe group's leader - a mind-manipulating sociopath who consideres himself a vampire - is found butchered and posed across a pentagram, Josh is the number one suspect. Jared will need all his skills as a private investigator and former homicide detective to match wits with the most terrifying killer he has ever seen. When he learns that Josh is next on the killer's list, Jared will risk his reputation, his family, and his life in a desperate attempt to save the boy he loves like a son.

''If there's anything Terrell can't do, you wouldn't know it from reading A Cup Full of Midnight. This is a riveting, deeply felt novel with a terrific mystery at its core.'' --Timothy Hallinan, author of the critically acclaimed 'Poke Rafferty Bangkok' thrillers
''If Taylor Jackson ever needed a private investigator, she would call Jared McKean.'' --J. T. Ellison, bestselling author of The Cold Room
Jared McKean, the Nashville cop-turned-private-eye, returns for a second helping of action and intrigue. When the rather twisted leader of a goth group, who believes he is a vampire, is murdered, Jared's nephew Josh, a member of the group, is quickly identified as a suspect. Can Jared dig his nephew out of this hole before Josh becomes the next victim? In the first McKean mystery, the excellent Racing the Devil (2012), Jared was a suspect in a homicide; here, it's his nephew. You'd think this might lead to a case of the rerun blahs, but, despite the thematic similarity to its predecessor, the book works very well. Terrell gives Jared plenty of fresh detecting to do, and he includes a meaty subplot involving the manipulative nature of cults (especially on impressionable young minds). A worthy successor to the author s top-notch debut. Fans of mainstream PI novels definitely need to check out Terrell. --Booklist, August 2012
Author Terrell does not just tell a story, she plays with language to permit the story to take on its own life as you read. And her characters never lose their humanity, even as they struggle with pain that is almost more than an individual can bear. --Suspense Magazine
"Saddle up for PI Jared McKean's welcome second appearance. While successfully juggling a complex cast with numerous minidramas, Terrell never loses focus on a case about troubled teens, which he writes with sympathy" --Library Journal
