The Hidden

A series of seemingly random murders along a fifty-mile stretch of the

rugged northern California coast, committed by an unknown dubbed by the

media the Coastline Killer. A young couple with marital problems, Shelby

and Jay Macklin, who decide to spend the week between Christmas and New

Year's at a friend's remote coastal cottage. Two couples in a

neighboring home whose relationships are thick with festering menace. A

fierce winter storm that leads to a night of unrelenting terror. These

are the main ingredients in Bill Pronzini's chilling and twist-filled

tale about the hidden nature of crime and its motives.
