hiding in plain sight - Hardcover

by Brian Brady (Author)

When a serial killer targets the North Beach neighborhood in San Francisco, the entire community must band together to help the homicide inspectors catch a killer or risk the tragedy that he will kill again.

Lucia is a good girl; she's an eighth grader at the local parish school who gets great grades, helps her parents around the house, and loves her siblings. As she waits after school, a stranger - hands laden - asks for help getting into his van.

Before she knows it, Lucia's shoved into the van, knocked unconscious, and she's never going home again.

After her mother reports her missing, Lucia's firefighter father, as well as other community members, manage to elevate her missing person's report all the way to the Homicide Bureau.

So begins a thrilling, edge-of-your-seat narrative of a community connected through more than just the streets they live on to catch a killer and bring a grieving family peace.

Two homicide teams, made up of Inspectors O'Neill and Donnelly and Inspectors Gibson and Sullivan, work against the clock and side-by-side with other agencies to bring the criminal down.

Chock-full of twists, turns, romance, murder, and community, hiding in plain sight is a can't miss mystery read for crime novel enthusiasts, San Francisco natives, and readers who love a good thriller.

Readers will feel immersed in the investigation as they struggle to solve the web of covered tracks alongside investigators. Feel the heart-pounding race against the clock as sands drain from the hourglass and the suspect gets farther away.

Written to entertain and engage adult crime novel readers, hiding in plain sight combines the action, adventure, and thrill of books from authors like Michael Connelly, Lee Child, and Sheldon Siegel with the author's passion for San Francisco and its stories.
