Synopsis

A haunting heritage railway. A forgotten crime. A killer signaling from the past…

Retired DCI Gareth Morgan thought he had escaped the ghosts of his past in a quiet cottage above Berwyn Station. But when a lantern flickers at midnight and a body is found beneath the ancient viaduct, his exile ends in a rush of steam and shadows. The murder bears an eerie resemblance to a series of unsolved railway killings from twenty years earlier—cases Gareth failed to close.

As cryptic signals light up the Welsh night and pocket watches arrive bearing chilling messages, Gareth is pulled back into a game only he can understand. With the help of a tenacious detective and a mounting sense of dread, he races to decode a killer’s pattern before more victims fall beneath the wheels of a long-buried past.

The Midnight Signal is a taut, atmospheric crime thriller where time, guilt, and revenge run on iron rails—right into the heart of darkness.
