Description

Vega ignored his tone and continued: I dont think youre angry because I havent called you. I think youre angry because I almost got you killed three times.'

A powerful new thriller from Louisa Luna. Alice Vega and Max Caplan uncover a network of American white supremacists in their search for a long-lost counter-culture hero.

In this riveting novel, the fearless and resourceful private investigator Alice Vega is hired to track down Zeb Williams, an athlete who went missing over thirty years ago after a famous loss. Zebs mysterious disappearance has earned him a cult following and still haunts the marriage of his ex-girlfriend.

Estranged from her partner and ex-cop Max Caplan, Vega heads alone to a small town in the Pacific Northwest of the USA where Zeb was last seen, and where an anxious community is threatened by a local hate group, Liberty Pure. As Vega infiltrates the group, she uncovers disturbing secrets that put at risk her own father and Caps daughter. No one can cut to the truth like Alice Vega, but this time is it too much for her to handle

Hideout is pure adrenaline and Lunas most intimate thriller yet, a classic cold case wrapped in a confrontation with a terrifyingly real network of white supremacists and homegrown terrorists. For readers of Dennis Lehane, Candice Fox and Kate Atkinsons Jackson Brodie series. Louisa Lunas Alice Vega novels are unputdownable, full of sly humour, complex characters and masterful storytelling.

Reviews

[A] turbulent, razor-sharp bookthis is a beautifully taut firecracker of a read. * Readings on Two Girls Down *

The Janes is a page-turning thriller, the prose is tight, the characters taut and Luna has more than set up a crime-busting pair who have a bright future in the business.
