The Hidden
The Hidden
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. β CANDICE FOX
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 traumatised by the death of his mother?
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. β 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. β SAM NEILL
A work of rattling and serpentine suspense ... gripping and sinuous and so, so good. β 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. β BETTER READING
