The Hiding Season

In this gripping, atmospheric thriller, a woman becomes the only witness to a deadly crime . . . making her the next target.

After a painful divorce, Maya Landry is in desperate need of a fresh start, which she finds deep in the Rocky Mountains of Montana.

She takes work at an exclusive ski resort for the elite. Quiet and empty in the summer months, it's the perfect escape. But the job does not provide the safety and peace she'd hoped for. Maya is not alone on the mountain. Someone else is there to kill.

After Maya finds a body, she must run for her life. One man tells her that he can save her. But can she trust him? Is he everything he claims to be?

Only one thing is certain: the killers will stop at nothing. And Maya is the only witness to their crime . . .
