If you found out you had only 3 months to live, what would you do? That’s the question the author forces readers to think about as they get immersed in this fast-paced mystery full of uncertainty and tension that will surprise you until the very last page.
PRLog - Nov. 25, 2014 - NEW YORK -- MuseItUp Publishing is excited to announce the release of the debut novel, The Clock Strikes Midnight, by the award winning, five-time author Joan C. Curtis. Available today online on Amazon, Barnes and Noble and others.

In her newest mystery/suspense novel, The Clock Strikes Midnight, we meet Janie Knox, a tormented young woman who escaped her home and family after a jury convicted her stepfather of killing her mother.

Hiding behind the façade of a normal life, Janie keeps her family secrets tucked inside a broken heart. Everything changes on the day she learns she’s going to die. With the clock ticking and her time running out, she rushes to finish what she couldn’t do when she was 17—destroy her mother’s killer. But she can’t do it alone.

Janie returns to her childhood home to elicit help from her sister. She faces more than she bargained for when she discovers her sister, Marlene's, life in shambles. Meanwhile her mother’s convicted killer, her stepfather, recently released from prison, blackmails the sisters and plots to extract millions from the state in retribution. New revelations challenge Janie’s resolve, but she refuses to allow either time or her enemies to her stop her from uncovering the truth she’s held captive for over 20 years.

The Clock Strikes Midnight is a race against time in a quest for revenge and atonement. It is a story about hate, love, betrayal and forgiveness. Not until the last page do all the secrets reveal themselves and the web of lies finally release its hold on the two sisters.

"The Clock Strikes Midnight by Joan C. Curtis is an amazing story with a number of twists cleverly hidden away. It was gripping and, no matter how hard I tried, I couldn’t have guessed the ending if I tried." - Ann Marie Reynolds
