In the spring of 1944 and on The Midnight Special, Helen Meeker embarks on a wild ride requiring her team to find a Japanese American scientist, a missing and corrupt inventor, and a man named Waldo, while solving four different murder cases from three different decades.

With Murder Inc. targeting their moves, Meeker, Teresa Bryant, and Napoleon Lancelot take planes, trains, and automobiles, traveling to California, Michigan, Canada, Arkansas, Missouri, New York, and back to Chicago. Along the way they meet Henry Ford, join ranks with the Royal Mounted Police, defuse a bomb, dodge a few dozen bullets, dig up two graves, and visit an internment camp. With three unsolvable mysteries confounding the Chicago Police and the FBI, the trio then charters a special train and brings all the suspects together for a midnight ride in a luxury pullman car.

The Midnight Special pushes locked room murder cases to a new level, explores the legal ramifications of a man convicted of killing the same woman not once, but twice, and uncovers a murder that brings Meeker’s world crashing down. The frantic conclusion requires breaking a code, finding two different men both thought long dead, and determining the identity of a woman without a face. The Midnight Special is Meeker’s most complex case.

The clues are all there, can you solve the mystery before her team does?
