Join Petrarch's Bookshop at St Lukes as we launch The Hiding Place by Kate Mildenhall, a razor-sharp literary thriller about deception and self-deception, and how far people will go to protect what they feel they ought to have. Kate will be in-conversation with fellow Author Maggie MacKellar.
When Lou sees an ad for a long-abandoned mining town up for sale, it doesn’t take her long to convince her sister and their oldest friends to go in on the idyllic property buried in the bush – a place where the four families can hide away on weekends.
But things start to go wrong before they even arrive for their first camping trip, but soon none of that will matter, because by the end of the first night, someone will be dead.
At first, it seems that hiding a body is easier than keeping other sorts of secrets: a lost job, an illegal crop, an outrageous affair, a little embezzlement. But what’s buried has a way of coming to the surface, and even in the bush, it’s hard to remain unseen.
Book sales available at the event.
Ticket includes a drink on arrival.
