Deadline at Dawn

They meet after midnight in a dance hall: two young innocents from the midwest, trapped in New York City–she from lack of courage and he because of the murder charge hanging over his head. They make a pact to leave by dawn. But first they must find the real murderer...

Deadline at Dawn is a fantastic novel of existential angst, as two characters in a soulless city set out for redemption and a chance at a new life.
