Notting Hill, London. One May evening, seventeen-year-old Maggie Parker's mother walks out of their front door and doesn't return... With her little brother in tow, desperate to find her mother, Maggie is drawn into a new labyrinthine world of antiques and shadowy figures. There she befriends someone else living on their wits. But can he help solve the mystery of her mother's disappearance? Twenty-one years later, in a Parisian apartment, Maggie's phone rings and her hard-won grown-up life shatters. While in London, the new owner of the Parkers' old house is excavating the basement, unaware of what may lie beneath. Sweeping from bustling London streets and the boulevards of Paris to an old English country house, "The Midnight Hour" is a thrilling, richly woven story about a golden family with a hidden past - and a wolan trying to turn back the hands of time before it's too late.
