The Turn of Midnight by Minette Walters

Survival demands courage after the Black Death

Excellent condition – light cover and edge wear visible.

As 1349 approaches, the Black Death continues its devastating course across England. The people of Develish have survived by remaining isolated, but their supplies are dwindling and safety cannot last forever. Thaddeus Thurkell leaves the quarantined community in search of food, news, and allies, only to discover a countryside transformed by disease, lawlessness, and fear. At home, Lady Anne must protect the vulnerable settlement while old social structures collapse and new threats gather. Minette Walters concludes the story begun in The Last Hours with a tense historical novel about leadership, freedom, faith, and the struggle to build a more just future after catastrophe.
