The Hidden Things

By Jamie Mason

Book Overview

Inspired by a real-life unsolved art theft, this "startling, smart, vivid" (Tana French, New York Times bestselling author) thriller follows the fallout from a viral video that exposes a hidden crime and pulls four desperate lives into a deadly hunt for a stolen masterpiece.In just twenty-eight seconds, a home-security camera captures fourteen-year-old Carly Liddell fighting off a brutal attack at her front door. The footage goes viral, turning Carly into an unlikely hero--and revealing far more than anyone realizes. Barely visible in the corner of the frame is the clue that threatens to unravel a long-buried secret. Carly's stepfather is driven to protect the truth about how a four-hundred-year-old painting by a Dutch Golden Age master ended up hanging in his suburban home. An art dealer once left for dead sees a chance at redemption. A ruthless enforcer resumes the hunt to recover the stolen work for his billionaire clients. And as the pressure mounts, Carly herself begins to question what really happened--and who she can trust. As secrets surface and loyalties fracture, the search for the missing painting turns violent. Taut, twist-filled, and darkly clever, this suspenseful novel dismantles a classic heist story and rebuilds it into a gripping mystery about family, greed, and the dangerous power of what the camera catches.
