Big Blue Marble is happy to welcome fire-fighting crime novelist Tony Knighton and his book "Three Hours Past Midnight."

In the novel, “a pitch-perfect tale of crime and consequences," a professional thief teams with an old partner eager for one last score – a safe in the home of a wealthy Philadelphia politician. But they are not the only ones set on the cash. His partner dead and the goods missing, he hunts for his money and the killer to find out that this may have been a job best left undone.

Tony Knighton’s novel Three Hours Past Midnight was published in 2017 by Crime Wave Press.  His novella and story collection Happy Hour and Other Philadelphia Cruelties was published in 2015, also by Crime Wave Press.  His stories have been included in the anthologies Shocklines: Fresh Voices in Terror, published by Cemetery Dance, Year’s Best Hardcore Horror Volume One, published by Comet Press, Equilibrium Overturned, published by Grey Matter Press, The Oxford Files from White Lightning Publishing, and the upcoming A Time for Violence, from Close to the Bone.  He has also published short fiction in Crime Factory, Trigger Warning, Static Movement Online and Dark Reveries. 

Tony is a lieutenant in the Philadelphia Fire Department.
