“[A] stand-alone thriller that benefits considerably from Nick Sullivan’s dramatic interpretation…There are even moments in which he moves so effortlessly from voice to voice that the reading takes on the aspect of a classic radio drama with a full cast.” Publishers Weekly (audio review)
Description
A series of seemingly random murders have been happening along a fifty mile stretch of the rugged northern California coast, committed by an unknown dubbed the “Coastline Killer.” A young couple with marital problems, Shelby and Jay Macklin, decide to spend the week between Christmas and New Year’s at a friend’s remote coastal cottage. Two couples in a neighboring home, whose relationships are thick with festering menace, and a fierce winter storm lead to a night of unrelenting terror. These are the main ingredients in Bill Pronzini’s chilling and twist-filled tale about the hidden nature of crime and its motives.
Praise
“[A] stand-alone thriller that benefits considerably from Nick Sullivan’s dramatic interpretation…There are even moments in which he moves so effortlessly from voice to voice that the reading takes on the aspect of a classic radio drama with a full cast.” Publishers Weekly (audio review)
“Pronzini has written seventy-plus novels, and The Hidden demonstrates that he’s aging like fine wine. Jay, Shelby, and even the Coastline Killer are complex and engaging characters. The Mendocino coast and its storms are portrayed in all their palpable beauty and danger.” Booklist
