Midnight on Mourn Street (2008)
A novel by Christopher Conlon
Introduction by William F. Nolan
Cover art by Edward Miller
SYNOPSIS:
Reed Waters is the sort of middle-aged man few people notice. He's quiet, polite, solitary. He doesn't call attention to himself. Ever.
Reed Waters has a secret.
Mauri Dyson is a teenaged runaway, impetuous and explosive. She lies, she steals, she prostitutes herself. Whatever it takes to survive.
Mauri Dyson, too, has a secret.
When Mauri bursts into Reed's life one rain-soaked night she sets in motion a series of events that will spiral out of control, taking the two of them through tears and terror to the brink of madness ... and a confrontation that will change them both forever.

"With MIDNIGHT ON MOURN STREET, Christopher Conlon makes one of the strongest and most affecting debuts as a novelist I’ve ever read. This story of loneliness, guilt, revenge, and the quest for self-redemption left me nearly in tears. Exquisitely written and profoundly moving, this is a novel that will haunt you for years to come."
