What Stays Hidden
(2026)(The first book in the Mara Fenn Investigations series)
A novel by Patricia Neary
The woman turned up alive. That was the easy part.
Three years ago, investigative journalist Mara Fenn staked her career on a source and lost everything. Now she's
back with one assignment: a missing woman who turned up alive with a story that doesn't add up.
The woman says she's fine. The building's security company says the same. Mara knows what fine looks like.
This isn't it.
What she uncovers isn't a missing persons case — it's a corporate surveillance operation running through
forty-three buildings across Manhattan, harvesting behavioral data, identifying targets, and quietly dismantling
lives with keys to every door.
Meanwhile, the small-town case that brought her back from Galen — her own mother's murder — is moving
through the courts. Slowly. The way justice always moves when someone without power is waiting for it.
She has a source she trusts. Documentation that checks out. A story that is true in all the ways that matter.
She publishes anyway.
The truth usually costs something. This time it costs someone else.
A gripping psychological thriller for readers who love a twisty domestic suspense novel with a female
investigator you can't help but root for.
Genre: Mystery
