"The Newry Highwayman" is a traditional Irish or British folk song about a criminal's life and death. It is found in Ireland, the USA and Canada with titles such as "Rambling Boy" and "Rude And Rambling Man"; the earliest known version is from 1788 printed by John Brown, in a chapbook entitled "The irish robbers's adventure. To, added An Elegy on the Death of Captain Allen." The earliest broadside is from 1824. Some versions mention "Mansfield" and this is sometimes taken to be William Murray, first Earl of Mansfield; the 1788 version mentions "Reddans Town" instead of Newry, though the rest of the song is nearly identical to versions. British variants are classified as Roud 490.

This book has at least two minor ones; the first begins with the birth of police detective Lindsay Boxer's daughter, which had to be at home during a major power outage. The less than sterile condition of the baby's birth causes medical complications that keep Boxer away from her job during part of the investigation into a strange series of murders; the second plot revolves around the series of murders. These murders take place after an eccentric college professor has vivid dreams about murders that end up coming true much in the manner he dreams them; the third major plot involves a murder case Assistant District Attorney Yuki Castellano is trying in court. Castellano and Boxer are members of an informal group known as the Women's Murder Club. Castellano's court case has many twists. Reviewing the novel at BookReporter.com, Joe Hartlaub wrote, "12th of Never is a book you should read, you'll find it moving and compelling from beginning to end."
