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.' 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?
