Synopsis:
"You're going to hell, Jack Nightingale."
The last words spoken in Jack's final case as a police negotiator have been haunting him ever since leaving the job.

Now a struggling private detective, the chilling words return with a vengeance when Jack inherits a mansion with a priceless library and a terrifying warning.
Nightingale quickly learns his soul was sold at birth and a devil will come to claim it in three weeks on his thirty-third birthday. It's a hard pill to swallow
—
until people close to him start to die horrible deaths, leading to the inescapable conclusion that real evil may be at work. And if he doesn't find a way out, he'll be damned in hell for eternity.

Dripping with brooding intensity, unrelenting suspense, and surprising wit, UK thriller master Stephen Leather's first book in the Nightingale series is a riveting, heart-stopping mystery with extraordinary range and power.
NIGHTFALL will take you on a high-speed ride that will keep you turning the pages well into the night. NIGHTFALL is an updated classic thriller, tersely written to keep your heart rate up as Jack Nightingale follows a trail of murders and suicides to figure out where he really came from…and why his biological father would sell his unborn son's soul to a devil.
Cinematic in its quick pace and shocking moments of violence, NIGHTFALL will have readers wondering about good and evil, and whether or not we really have any control over our own destinies. This private-eye-meets-Satanism thriller is satisfying to the last (bloody) drop.
