A tak se Larry s žaludkem plným pomalu se rozpouštějícího jedu řítí Manhattanem na schůzku s jedinou osobou, která mu může zachránit život - ale tak, aby se nikdo nic nedozvěděl. Jenže nejdřív se musí dostat přes miliónový dav, který na Times Square slaví Silvestra - a přes Murielina expřítele, který ho chce zabít. O půlnoci zemřu je příběh člověka, který hledá pravou lásku a důvod k životu. V New Yorku? Bude mít štěstí, když najde volný taxík.

      Anarchists Sacco and Vanzetti were accused of robbery and murder, but so many supposedly damning pieces of evidence were questionable that their guilty verdict elicited massive protests around the world. Geary presents readers with all the twists and turns, appeals and dubious evidence after presenting the human faces of the two men - demonised by many and turned to martyrs by many others - in his usual unflappable style.
