Byron Writers Festival invites you to a special evening event with Bryan Brown in conversation about his new thriller novel, The Hidden, with Nell Schofield.
Bryan Brown's distinctive storytelling voice returns in this unflinching, gripping novel from the bestselling author of The Drowning.
About The Hidden
The Heads was once a small village on the NSW north coast. Now it's a large village with a lot of action below the surface. A shipment of coke, a crime squad investigation and a drug overdose keep the local sergeant pretty busy.
Someone is preying on the women of The Heads. And what does the discovery of buried roosters in the forest mean to a young boy?
Will Sergeant William Jarrett uncover what is really going on or will it all remain hidden?
'Tight, tense, this mystery rockets along. All you can do is hang on and hope your favourites survive.' Candice Fox
