The Hidden Man

The Hidden Man

Another exhilarating thriller from Edgar Award winner David Ellis, introducing the new series protagonist Jason Kolarich.

Jason Kolarich is a midwestern Everyman with a linemanâ€™s build and an easy smart-ass remark. Heâ€™s a young, intelligent maverick, but heâ€™s also struggling with an overwhelming emotional burdenâ€”one that threatens to unravel his own life, and possibly the lives of those around him.

Twenty-seven years ago, two-year-old Audrey Cutler disappeared from her home in the middle of the night. She was never found. All the detectives had to go on were vague eyewitness accounts of a man running down the Cutlersâ€™ street, apparently carrying someone. Without enough evidence to suggest otherwise, Griffin Perliniâ€”a neighbor with prior offenses against minorsâ€”was arrested, but never convicted.

The case is long closed when Perlini is murdered nearly thirty years later. Now a man named Mr. Smith appears in Jason Kolarichâ€™s office, saying only that he represents a third party who wants the man charged with murder off the hook and that Kolarich is perfect for the job. The new client: Audrey Cutlerâ€™s older brother, Sammyâ€”Kolarichâ€™s estranged childhood best friendâ€”a man he hasnâ€™t seen in nearly twenty years.

But when Kolarich starts receiving violent threats from Mr. Smithâ€™s enigmatic employer, he figures out that the secrecy behind this nameless third partyâ€”and the key to winning Sammyâ€™s caseâ€”is entangled with the mystery of Audreyâ€™s disappearance. With his own life and Sammyâ€™s in the balance, Kolarich has to put aside not only the mounting anxiety of the job but also a heart-wrenching personal tragedy in order to find out what really happened to Audrey all those years ago.
