Outrun the tide. Outlast the past.
When Jersey City PI Marti Wells takes a last-minute skip-trace from bail bondsman Bear Wachowski, she thinks a major hurricane grinding up the coast is her biggest threat. She is wrong.
The skip has vanished into a city that is quickly going underwater, but he isn't the only one moving through the flooded streets. Two escaped convicts from Rahway are hunting a fifteen-year-old score. They are looking for a three million dollar fortune that was never recovered. They have been waiting over a decade for this chance, and they will kill anyone standing between them and the payday.
As the power grids fail and the Hudson overruns its banks, Marti finds herself trapped in a dead zone where the police have retreated and the predators have taken over. The deeper she digs into the missing money, the more the past reveals. The people she trusts most are caught in the crossfire of a blood-soaked history. Now Marti must decide how far she will go to protect her own and how much of the truth she’ll have to bury.
The heist was perfect. The cover-up was better. The fallout will be fatal.
Hidden Fury is a propulsive and atmospheric thriller about loyalty, betrayal, and the weight of the lies we carry for the people we love. A city under siege, the water is rising, and three million dollars says not everyone makes it to morning.
Perfect for fans of David Baldacci, Sara Paretsky, and Sue Grafton.
Genre: Mystery
