She thought she would be safe here. She was wrong.

After escaping an abusive marriage, Alice Sewell arrives in a quiet West Sussex village hoping to begin again.

Then she disappears.

Hidden away and completely alone, Alice must draw on every ounce of strength she has to survive. But as the search for her begins, a gruesome murder turns a missing-person enquiry into something far darker.

DI David Angelis, hit hard by personal tragedy and self-doubt, follows the trail left behind by Alice’s disappearance. As the investigation deepens, his unsettling abilities may prove vital in finding her before it is too late.

Hide Her Away is a supernatural crime thriller and the second book in the DI David Angelis series, following Chasing Shadows.

You’ve never met a detective quite like DI Angelis

Still reeling from personal tragedy, Detective Inspector David Angelis returns to Chichester CID, hoping work will give him something to hold on to.

When nineteen-year-old Anna Aldred disappears and is found murdered, Angelis and his team are drawn into a disturbing investigation. Then another young woman vanishes, and the similarities are impossible to ignore.

But the case is also pulling Angelis towards a tragedy buried thirteen years earlier: a child drowned in a frozen pond, a mother lost soon afterwards, and a family still living with the consequences. As his unusual abilities reveal fragments others cannot see, Angelis begins to suspect that someone close to the investigation may be hiding far more than anyone realises.

With grief threatening to overwhelm him and trust becoming increasingly dangerous, Angelis must uncover the truth behind the past before the present claims another victim.
