Captain Parton Fleer returns from the rugged frontier of Farben to lead the Night Guard in Galeia, the capital of Fotheringale (p. 6). Instead of finding peace, he is thrust into a dark investigation (pp. 6, 15). A calculating serial killer is stalking the Flatown quarter, leaving a trail of victims with identical, chilling wounds (pp. 7-8).

As the bodies pile up, Parton must hunt the murderer while fighting a silent battle within his own mind (p. 6). He is plagued by a fractured, forgotten trauma from his service abroad-a psychological scar that distorts his memories and threatens his sanity (pp. 6, 17-18).

But time is running out. When the hostile Sian Nation launches a sudden assault on the capital, Parton must conquer his internal ghosts (p. 6). He must unite with the protectors of Fotheringale to stop the killer and defend the kingdom before everything burns (p. 6).

Midnight in Flatown is a gritty historical fantasy that masterfully blends a noir-style detective mystery with a sweeping epic military adventure (pp. 6-7).
