The Hidden
About this book
Bryan Brown's distinctive storytelling voice returns in this unflinching, gripping novel from the bestselling author of
The Drowning.
'Tight, tense, this mystery rockets along. All you can do is hang on and hope your favourites survive.' CANDICE FOX
'Stepping into The Hidden is like arriving as a voyeur into a small town gripped by everyday difficulties and some much bigger problems. With the rapid-fire switching between characters, Brown crafts a tale that is both intimate and cinematic – layered with suspense and a quiet intensity that keeps you turning the page. If you appreciate a well-told tale with heart and grit, The Hidden delivers.' VIKKI PETRAITIS
The Heads was once a small village on the NSW north coast. Now it's a large village with a lot of action below the surface. A shipment of coke, a crime squad investigation and a drug overdose keep the local sergeant pretty busy.
Someone is preying on the women of The Heads. And what does the discovery of buried roosters in the forest mean to a young boy?
Will Sergeant William Jarrett uncover what is really going on or will it all remain hidden?
Praise for THE DROWNING
'Uniquely Australian and uncommonly good, I could hear the author's voice in every spare, haunting line. More please.' MICHAEL ROBOTHAM
'My friend Bryan Brown, quite apart from his other manifold talents, turns out to be an excellent writer. An authentic voice; highly imaginative yet completely believable, with a flair for fully realised characters and a gripping narrative ... a great storyteller. This is utterly baffling. I'm furious.' SAM NEILL
'A work of rattling and serpentine suspense ... gripping and sinuous and so, so good.' TRENT DALTON
' The Drowning has all the hallmarks of great Aussie crime writing ... Brown's punchy prose makes this novel absolutely devourable, and all will be revealed in due time. The Drowning is highly recommended holiday reading.' BETTER READING
