How do you find a killer who leaves no trace?
New York Times bestseller Julia Spencer-Fleming returns to her gripping Clare Fergusson/Russ Van Alstyne mystery series with a compelling case that spans decades.
‘Thrilling, chilling and the suspense is killing’ Val McDermid
Two murders, twenty years apart, with eerie similarities: a woman in a party dress murdered with no obvious cause of death. The last known suspect? Russ Van Alstyne, never convicted but never completely cleared either.
Now, decades later, a third young woman is found under similar circumstances. It’s a new case that opens old wounds for Russ, now a police chief himself.
With three crimes spanning generations, and Russ himself under suspicion, the pressure is on for him to solve the murder or risk losing everything he loves.

A tour de force by Julia Spencer-Fleming. Not only is this a tense mystery unfolding simultaneously in three time periods but also a poignant drama touching the flawed and very real main characters.
I've been waiting eagerly for Julia Spencer-Fleming's new book, and it was well worth the wait. Hid from Our Eyes is an intricate, intense mystery with a chilling ending . . .This is a five-star experience that shocked me and kept me reading late into the night.
