THE HIDING GAME

Louise Phillips

The thrilling new bestseller from acclaimed crime writer Louise Phillips, Winner of Best Irish Crime Novel of the Year. For fans of Liz Nugent and the small town claustrophobia of Gillian Flynn's Sharp Objects.

Abby Jones, a young nanny from a small town outside Boston is accused of killing a baby. Heather Baxter, the lawyer defending her is determined to keep her client out of prison, and make a name for herself. But can she shake off the shadow of her past and the memories of the death of her mother almost twenty-five years ago, murdered while a young Heather hid upstairs?


As Heather digs deeper into Abby's case, will she discover a link between her current case and what happened to her mother all those years ago? And will Abby walk free?


Louise Phillips is the author of four bestselling psychological crime thrillers, each shortlisted for Best Irish Crime Novel of the Year. Her second novel, The Doll's House, won the award. She was longlisted in the CWA Dagger in the Library Award for her entire body of work. Louise's work has formed part of many literary anthologies, and she has won both the Jonathan Swift Award and the Irish Writers' Centre Lonely Voice platform. She teaches crime fiction at the Irish Writers' Centre. A recipient of an arts bursary for literature, she has also been awarded a writers' residency at Cill Rialaig Artist retreat, and has been a judge on the Irish panel for the EU Literary Award. Her latest novel, The Game Changer, was published in September 2015 to critical acclaim
