What She’s Hiding is the highly anticipated debut thriller from Art Bell, former president of Court TV. Set against the dark underbelly of New York City, this fast-paced modern noir will hit shelves next week through Ulysses Press.
In What She’s Hiding, we meet Henry Gladstone, a successful lawyer at a prestigious Manhattan firm, whose world is thrown into chaos when his estranged ex-wife, Leslie Dunlop, suddenly reappears. After years of silence, Leslie demands a quarter-million dollars, claiming their lives are in danger. Dismissing her as a con, Henry is ready to brush her off—until he returns home to find his apartment ransacked and receives a threatening call from a Russian mobster. With Leslie gone and nowhere to be found, Henry assembles a team of unlikely allies to untangle the dangerous web of lies, mob threats, and betrayal that she’s left behind.
As the tension builds, Henry races through New York’s glittering and gritty corners, navigating a deadly game of trust, deception, and survival. Bell’s debut is perfect for fans of Harlan Coben and Laura Dave, with its intricate plot twists and emotionally charged suspense.
