The Hidden Past

By: Hutte, Rebecca

For ten years, Sarah Miller has lived a quiet life in Oregon, shielding her son from the ghosts of her past. But Sarah Miller doesn't exist. She is Katie Aris, a woman who fled a brutal cartel and vanished into the Witness Protection Program.

When a burner phone vibrates with a single set of coordinates, Katie's sanctuary is shattered. The digits point to a patch of Nevada desert where she buried a secret worth billions. Professional fixer Max Vane has found her, and he's taken the one thing that matters most: her son, Leo.

Forced out of hiding, Katie must navigate a landscape of betrayal where the very government program designed to protect her has been sold to the highest bidder. Joined by a small band of unlikely allies-including technical expert Adam Kemp, a man who challenges her self-imposed isolation-Katie launches a desperate rescue mission across state lines.

From high-tech drone surveillance to tactical battles in decommissioned military sites, the stakes have never been higher. To save her son and expose a national conspiracy, Katie must stop running and reclaim the dangerous truth she buried a decade ago. The past is no longer hidden, and the chase is on.
