In Book 1, The Dying Hour introduces Jason Wade, a rookie crime reporter with The Seattle Mirror, a loner who grew up in the shadow of a brewery in one of the city's blue-collar neighborhoods. At The Seattle Mirror, he is competing for the single full-time job being offered through the paper's intense intern program. But unlike the program's other young reporters, who attended big name schools and worked at other big metro dailies, Wade put himself through community college, and lacked the same experience.

Wade struggles with his haunting past as he pursues the story of Karen Harding, a college student whose car was found abandoned on a lonely stretch of highway in the Pacific Northwest. How could this beloved young woman with the altruistic nature simply vanish?

Wade battles mounting odds and cut-throat competition to unearth the truth behind Karen Harding's disturbing case. Her disappearance is a story he cannot give up, never realizing the toll it could exact from him. The Dying Hour is a bone-chilling, mesmerizing page-turner that introduces readers to an all-too-human young hero who journeys into the darkest regions of the human heart to confront a nightmare.

The International Thriller Writers (ITW), selected The Dying Hour as a finalist for a Thriller Award for Best Paperback Original, 2006.

Rick Mofina is a former journalist who has interviewed murderers on death row, flown over L.A. with the LAPD and patrolled with the Royal Canadian Mounted Police near the Arctic.

His work has been praised by James Patterson, Dean Koontz, Michael Connelly, Lee Child, Tess Gerritsen, Jeffery Deaver, Sandra Brown, James Rollins, Brad Thor, Nick Stone, David Morrell, Allison Brennan, Heather Graham, Linwood Barclay, Peter Robinson, Håkan Nesser and Kay Hooper.

As a two-time winner of Canada's Arthur Ellis Award, a three-time Thriller Award finalist and a two-time Shamus Award finalist, the Library Journal calls him, “One of the best thriller writers in the business."

It was so good i had my own family wanting to know what happens next. Amazing. -J.R

Ranger&Sadie

Page Turner. Never rated a book 5 stars before this one. Good character development, interesting plot, intelligent suspense ... overall great read. Never disappointed by this author.

Adpantano

Good murder mystery. A young reporter anxious to prove himself as a good reporter gets personally involved in a murder mystery he is following. He falls apart professionally and personally as this story consumes him.

Awful!. It felt like the book was written by a fifth grader. Not well constructed.

J Trowbridge

Adrenaline pumping suspense. Calling this book a page turner is a huge understatement! One of the very best I’ve read in a long time! It had me yelling out to the characters to “watch out!” Would make a great movie or series!!

Riveting!. It’s been awhile that a book has kept me so engrossed in it that I didn’t want to put it down! Many sleepless nights and always kept me guessing and trying to figure out what was next. I highly recommend this book!

The Dying Hour. Not bad. Not the greatest, but it had its moments with the torture devices of medieval times. Plot has been used many times, crazy serial killer kidnaps young pretty women.

Leggs1974

Rick does it again!. This is a terrific fast paced novel. Jason Wade is a rookie reporter, and looking to fulfill his dream. He comes across a lead that takes him on a journey he could never image. He is determined to help with the case, even though doors are not opening for him. I am a huge fan of Rick Mofina, each of his books keep you enthralled. Thanks for the great stories.
