What connects a massacre at a Blockbuster video store in 1999 with the murder of four teenagers fifteen years later?
It's New Year's Eve of 1999 when four teenagers working late are attacked at a Blockbuster video store in New Jersey. Only one survives. Police quickly identify a suspect, the boyfriend of one of the victims, who flees and is never seen again.
Fifteen years later, four more teenagers are attacked at an ice cream store in the same town, and again only one makes it out alive.
In the aftermath of the latest crime, three lives intersect: the lone survivor of the Blockbuster massacre, who is forced to relive the horrors of her tragedy; the brother of the fugitive accused, who is convinced the police have the wrong suspect; and FBI agent Sarah Keller, who must delve into the secrets of both nights to uncover the truth about the Night Shift Murders...
'A terrific thriller, tautly written with compelling characters. I was totally hooked' Peter James
'Every line counts in this cunning cat's cradle of a thriller. Alex Finlay has the knack of combining forward motion with powerful emotion' The Times
'Wow, this is crime fiction at its best... Alex Finlay is the real deal, believe me' Lee Child
'Finlay is all set to take on big boys Linwood Barclay and Harlan Coben. Great' The Sun
'The Night Shift will grab you and not let go until the final, electrifying conclusion' Julie Clark
'An exciting, entertaining read that I couldn't put down!' Samantha Downing

You know you're in for a wild ride when one of the narrators ends up dead in the first chapter... Fans of Riley Sager and Grady Hendrix are going to LOVE this book" - Julie Clark
