About this Event

ABOUT THE BOOK
In this twisty and poignant small-town mystery, a trans detective working for the District Attorney’s Office takes on the cold case M**der of a local trans woman—and her investigation unravels the threads of a county-wide conspiracy as well as a personal mystery that’s haunted her since childhood.
When Lieutenant Lauren Kelly is exiled to the Homicide Cold Case Unit at the DA’s office, she knows her superiors are sticking her there as punishment until she can quietly retire. That way, no one can claim they discriminated against the only trans detective in Donn County.
Even though Lauren has enough on her plate already—a teenage daughter struggling with Lauren’s recent transition, an ex-wife Lauren hasn’t gotten over, a former detective father with Alzheimer’s—she starts looking into the M**der of Sherry Darling, a trans sex worker and Lauren’s former high school classmate. As Lauren looks deeper into Sherry’s case, she finds evidence of a cover-up with far-reaching implications that may or may not be tied to the reason her mother left decades earlier.
Entertaining and deeply human, All We Hide is a compelling, page-turning mystery that will resonate in the hearts and minds of readers long after the final twist.
