Overview
288 PAGESENGLISH
The thrilling second novel from the author of The Chalk Man, about a teacher with a hidden agenda who returns to settle scores at a school he once attended, only to uncover a darker secret than he could have imagined.
Joe never wanted to come back to Arnhill. After the way things ended with his old gang—the betrayal, the suicide, the murder—and after what happened when his sister went missing, the last thing he wanted to do was return to his hometown. But Joe doesn't have a choice. Because judging by what was done to that poor Morton kid, what happened all those years ago to Joe's sister is happening again. And only Joe knows who is really at fault.
Lying his way into a teaching job at his former high school is the easy part. Facing off with former friends who are none too happy to have him back in town—while avoiding the enemies he's made in the years since—is tougher. But the hardest part of all will be returning to that abandoned mine where it all went wrong and his life changed forever, and finally confronting the shocking, horrifying truth about Arnhill, his sister and himself. Because for Joe, the worst moment of his life wasn't the day his sister went missing.
It was the day she came back.
With the same virtuosic command of character and pacing she displayed in The Chalk Man, C.J. Tudor has once again crafted an extraordinary novel that brilliantly blends harrowing psychological suspense, a devilishly puzzling mystery, and enough shocks and thrills to satisfy even the most seasoned reader.

"C.J. Tudor's debut novel, The Chalk Man, introduced a major new talent in British crime writing. The Hiding Place, her second novel, is even better. . . . Tudor has a tight fast-paced writing style that keeps you riveted to the page. . . . With two books, Tudor is already on a par with Mo Hayder or early Minette Walters. Don't miss this one." —The Globe and Mail
"Tudor maintains a tone of creeping dread throughout the book, of something lingering always in the background, coyly hiding its face while whispering promises of very bad things to come. In the last quarter, however, she goes for broke with outright horror, giving readers an effective jolt of adrenaline that will carry them all the way to the terriyfing conclusion. Readers won't know what hit them. Tudor came out swinging with The Chalk Man, but this one puts her firmly on the map. Not to be missed." —Kirkus Reviews
"Tudor has crafted another fantastic horror-tinged thriller . . . in the vein of John Connolly and Brendan Duffy." —Booklist
"Some writers have it, and some don't. C.J. Tudor has it big time—The Hiding Place is terrific in every way." —Lee Child
"Dark, gothic and utterly compelling, The Hiding Place pulls off a rare combination—an atmosphere of unsettling evil along with richly nuanced characterisation." —JP Delaney, internationally bestselling author of The Girl Before
"[An] absolutely brilliant thriller." —Winnipeg Free Press
"[The Hiding Place] confirms Tudor as Britain's female Stephen King. There is a creeping dread on every page and, as you start a new chapter, a dark shadow over your shoulder. Tudor's punk prose style and her great eye for menace make this a book no one should read at night." —Daily Mail (UK)
"There is no sign of second-album syndrome: the mix of grotty provincial realism and amateur cold-case sleuthing works just as well here." —The Sunday Times (UK)
"[The Hiding Place] shows that [Tudor's] excellent The Chalk Man was no one-off in matching Stephen King for creepiness." —Sunday Express (UK)
"Spine-tingling." —Sunday Post (UK)
"With The Hiding Place, C.J. Tudor has proven that she is a true master at creating perfectly dark, highly propulsive and tightly coiled mysteries that are utterly impossible to put down. From page one, the reader is pulled in with a gathering sense of dread, and taken on an addictive, thrilling ride to the very last page." —Aimee Molloy, New York Times bestselling author of The Perfect Mother
"Gripping and dark, The Hiding Place descends like its very own mine shaft, getting creepier the further you go. You'll race to the finish." —Roz Nay, internationally bestselling author of Our Little Secret
"Razor-sharp writing and masterful plotting drive this dark story about a small town, buried secrets and ghosts from the past. Witty and compelling all at once, The Hiding Place is a must read page-turner!" —Wendy Walker, bestselling author of All Is Not Forgotten
"Delicious in every way. A deliciously creepy story, deliciously told. . . . If you like Tana French, you will love, love, love C.J. Tudor." —Alma Katsu, author of The Hunger
"C.J. Tudor's follow-up to her impressive debut is superbly chilling and delightfully creepy. Smartly written and brilliantly plotted, here is a book that crawls under your skin and hooks on until you reach that jaw-dropping ending." —C.J. Cooke, author of I Know My Name
"Deliciously creepy, impeccably plotted and laced with both wicked humor and genuine shocks. . . . An absolute corker of a book." —Riley Sager, New York Times bestselling author of Final Girls and The Last Time I Lied
