A tightly-woven, gripping novel that explores themes of guilt, motherhood and the way we remember the past.
'Intriguing and compelling ... will enthral you to the end' Liz Nugent
'Absolutely gripping ... an addictive page turner.' Patricia Gibney
In a small town south-east of Boston, a young nanny awaits trial for murder.
The evidence - and the media - is against her, but Abby Jones swears she is innocent.
Defence attorney Heather Baxter believes Abby is telling the truth, but convincing a jury will not be easy. And she knows that in a place like Corham, where her own mother's murder remains unsolved, justice isn't always served.
As the lawyer starts to dig deeper into Abby's case, Heather soon realises there may be a link to the shadows of her own past -- and those involved will stop at nothing to keep their secrets buried ...
'A gripping courtroom drama with a courageous new heroine in Heather Baxter. Pacy, tightly plotted and full of suspense. The Hiding Game was worth the wait!' Andrea Carter
'Riveting, thought provoking and compulsive.' Arlene Hunt
