Midnight's Door

By Robert F. Barker

"A gripping tale of serial killing, gangsters, nightclub-door rivalry - and love. As gritty and real as crime fiction gets."Whoever controls the door, controls the drugs - and everything else besides. Midnight's. The biggest, most happening nightclub around. Danny Norton runs the door. Scared of nothing and no one, his mission is to keep the clientele safe from those who would harm them.Right now that includes the sadistic killer snatching clubbers off the streets, as well as the drug-dealing Russian gangster who wants to use the club to grow his operation, but needs to first get rid of Danny and replace him with someone more 'amenable'
With the killer stalking ever closer and the Russian's scheming looking set to bear fruit, Danny has no choice but to fight back using methods he knows could risk all he has built up - his business, his team, his reputation. Worse, it could ruin his chances with Vicki, the club's beautiful VIP hostess. Way out of his league but right now in sore need of someone she can depend on, Danny would love it to be him, if only he was brave enough to apply for the job.As the violence escalates and the pressures on Danny and his team mount, he has to call on all his reserves of strength, street know-how and determination in order to save himself and everything he holds dear - including the life of the woman he loves.A gripping account of life 'on the door', and the dangers door staff the world over have to face, Midnight's Door delves into a world Saturday-night clubbers never get to see - and should never want to see.
