Best Mystery -  Midnight 1

Still dogged by the death of a paedophile he was questioning, an event that forced his career change, Jack is a good, if wayward, PI. Kept in line by his assistant Jenny, his usual cases involve cheating husbands and missing children. All that changes when he finds himself at what appears to be a murder scene. From the lips of the victim, he is told his sister is going to hell. Unaware that he had a sister, Jack embarks on a mission to find out who she is, and save her from whatever fate is planned for her.

Best Mystery -  Midnight 2

Jack’s questions lead him to more bodies, as every one of the four people he tries to contact ends up brutally murdered. The Met are understandably suspicious - his presence at every scene points to him being the murderer. Meanwhile he makes an alarming discovery about his own family, their connection with the occult and a bargain. Armed with a Ouija board, he and Jenny attempt to contact Jack’s old partner for help, but all is not what it seems.
