The Longest Night of the Year

The Longest Night of the Year
A Mick & Mack MysteryWhen time is stolen, someone always pays.Christmas Eve in 1950s Toronto should have been quiet.For Detectives Mick McCathie and Archie MacNeely, it begins as a routine errand—a sealed envelope, a short drive, no urgency. But when the envelope vanishes near St. Michael’s Cathedral and a petty thief is found frozen in an alley, clutching a pocket watch stopped at 11:17, the city’s careful rhythm falters.The watch was recently repaired.
The envelope contains names—orphans, war widows, and one man officially listed as dead.
And someone is manipulating time itself to hide a crime.As snow buries the streets and Christmas bells ring by hand, Mick and Mack uncover a quiet conspiracy built on stolen minutes, erased lives, and bureaucratic cruelty. With the help of a gentle watchmaker and a meddlesome church caretaker, the detectives race toward midnight—where truth waits patiently, whether anyone is ready for it or not.A haunting, heartfelt Christmas mystery about mercy, memory, and refusing to let people disappear.Subscribe to Ontario Cold Cases - Canada’s True Crime Podcast today so you never miss an episode!
