I suppose you thought you were protecting me. But the hiding is over. I refuse to leave my own past buried. Wouldnât you?
I must work alone. Because who can I trust, now? My wife? My family? No-one. The answers have been hidden for so long. But I refuse to live a lie one moment longer. I finally know who I amâ¦and itâs time you did, too. And you will.
Ready or notâ¦here I come.
All will be revealed in the electrifying final part of Hide and Seek by Amy Bird: a new novel, perfect for fans of Gillian Flynn, SJ Watson and Liane Moriarty. Is finding the truth worth losing everything?
