Hide

How do you hide from a killer who nobody can remember? Triple murderer R.D. Slaither is incarcerated in an asylum, yet he claims the real perpetrator is a psychopath nobody can remember. Is he truly insane, an innocent victim or a master manipulator with an audacious plan to ensure his freedom? Detective Ettrick Sinclair sets out to find the truth and uncovers an incredible tale, involving a talking Longhorn Bull, an abused psychiatric patient, the car crash that killed R.D.'s son, a domineering father in law, a remote boathouse, the notorious Cherry Bomb serial killer, an experimental anti-depressant, the suspicious suicides of a young engineer and a truck driver - and Ettrick's own babysitter. But his investigation sets in motion a horrific chain of events that will end in tragedy for both men. J A Henderson's thrillers have been shortlisted for 15 literary awards and he is the winner of the Doncaster Book Prize, the Aurelis Award and Royal Mail Award. 'Hide' was shortlisted for the Fantastica Prize.
