In the summer of 1939, Jessie Fordham graduates from Cambridge University with a mind buzzing with academic achievements but a heart burdened by family strife. Jessie is travelling to her parents’ summer house, le lac de minuit, the midnight lake, nestled in the tranquil French Ardennes. Yet, Jessie dreads the impending months, haunted by memories of a fractured childhood spent evading confrontations with her father, Albert, and stepmother, Armel. Suspicions of their clandestine affair during her mother’s illness linger, casting a shadow over family bonds.

As tensions simmer beneath the idyllic facade of midnight lake, the Fordham family reunites against the backdrop of looming war. With the spectre of conflict hanging heavy in the air, Jessie’s world is upended when Germany’s invasion of France in May 1940 thrusts her father, Albert, into the heart of diplomatic turmoil as Britain’s Military Attaché to France.

Summoned to the British Embassy in Paris, Albert entrusts Jessie with a perilous mission: safeguarding a crucial secret and delivering it to British intelligence in London. Charged with the safety of her siblings and household staff, Jessie finds herself entangled in a desperate gambit to navigate the treacherous landscape of wartime Europe.

With Dunkirk as their beacon of hope amidst the chaos, Jessie must summon every ounce of wit and courage to protect her charges and safeguard her father’s clandestine mission. From the dense foliage of the Ardennes Forest to the battered streets of Dunkirk, Jessie’s journey is a testament to resilience in the face of adversity, where loyalty, sacrifice, and the bonds of family are tested to the limit, amidst the tumult of war.

Walking Away from Midnight is a gripping historical fiction novel that masterfully intertwines World War II history, suspense, and the unbreakable strength of the human spirit. Jessie’s journey will captivate you, leaving an indelible mark after you turn the last page.

Reviews

“Tom Kane’s Walking Away from Midnight is a gripping WWII espionage thriller spanning from June 1939 to June 1940. This is book one in The Midnight Series. The principal character is Jessie Fordham, a young Englishwoman who, in the summer of 1939,  is a recent graduate from Cambridge University. The story begins with Jessie’s childhood and teenage days, with family life very much influenced by her father’s career in the British military. In 1939, Jessie’s father, Colonel Albert Fordham, was Britain’s Military Attaché to France. Jessie, her younger siblings, her uncle Nev, and her father are at the family’s summer home at Midnight Lake in the French Ardennes. When Germany advances into France in May 1940, Jessie’s father instructs her to leave immediately with her younger siblings and go to Dunkirk, where the British Navy has a rescue mission in place. Jessica has a diplomatic briefcase with her, which her father says she must guard with her life and deliver to British intelligence in London.

I thoroughly enjoyed Walking Away from Midnight for its fascinating and diverse characters and its well-crafted, convoluted web of wartime mystery, espionage, and daunting and dangerous personal challenges. I particularly enjoyed the character development of Jessie Fordham. I liked how her character matures and her inner transformative journeys, particularly when she must undertake a dangerous trek across Europe, with German forces advancing on the ground and the ever-present threat of Luftwaffe attacks. The story gains great depth as Jessie’s character development is interwoven into her family’s life, and the characters of her father, uncle, and siblings emerge. Jessie’s abilities, vulnerabilities and fears, and inner courage sprang into life for me through the other characters, as well as the evocative and atmospheric settings of Midnight Lake and the Ardennes. The characters, dialogues, and chaotic wartime settings are well-crafted, showing the perils of espionage and counter-espionage. Tom Kane has written a terrific espionage thriller in a tale of courage and determination. I immensely enjoyed the thread of humor that runs through the story.”

Reviews

“This one has it all – mystery, corruption, murder, kidnapping, love, revenge. Don’t plan to read it as a stand alone. You’ll definitely want the next books in the trilogy because the ending of book one is a cliff hanger. I couldn’t put this book down although I became so worried about the fate of Blackmore I had to regroup myself. Tom Kane did one helluva job writing this set.”

“This book has everything Romance, Murder, Mystery which automatically hooks you to the story.”

“Set against the backdrop of early 20th century America, an incredible story of love, loss, injustice, perseverance, mental illness & heartbreak.”

“A fictional romp through history, full of well-written twists & turns.
An arranged marriage, tragic love story & a bad guy you’ll love to hate.”
