The Key to Midnight

The man with the steel fingers reaches for the hypodermic syringe...

That single image was all that she retained of the nightmare. It had been so vivid that, at will, she could recall it in unsettling detail: the texture of those metal fingers, the sound of gears working in them, the way the light had shone of the edges of them.

She switched on the bedside lamp and studied the familiar room. Nothing was out of place and the air contained only her own familiar scent, but she wondered if she truly had been alone here all night...

Who was Joanna Rand?

Alex Hunter hadn't come to Japan to fall in love. But Joanna Rand was the most beautiful, exciting woman he had ever met.

Yet Joanna was not who she thought she was. Ten years before, and halfway across the world, a brutally bizarre experiment had recreated her mind. A violation so hideous that her dreams were filled with terror and her memories were a lie.

If they were ever to be free, Alex and Joanna had to reopen the dangerous door into the nightmare past. Somehow they had to find the key to midnight...

The Key to Midnight was originally published under the name of Leigh Nichols.
