Truth in Hiding by M.M. Frick is a gripping tale of intrigue and crime. Only a skilled intelligence analyst like Casey Shenk can establish the link between two events happening independently of each other and thousands of miles away – an explosion in the desert and a suicide in prison. But this isn’t a game of some gangsters settling scores. It’s a planned operation that could rock the entire world and leave a lot of devastation in its wake. In a world where the next person could be a spy and the least error could provoke a chain reaction with shocking effects, the intelligence division must move cautiously and fast.

In a curious beginning for a tale of this magnitude, the story opens with a vivid description of the loneliness and the aridity of the desert. The lone bird, the solitary men, and the dead road dissecting the desert are images that capture attention, but immediately the shift is surprising. The reader is already introduced to an aspect of the setting and now the characters begin to enter the stage, and it’s not long before the reader gets an understanding that something is at stake. “Babak Abed checked his watch for the tenth time in seven minutes. He scanned the open desert in front of him and turned to the man crouched low beside him. 'Is it ready?' he asked.” M.M. Frick creates frictional characters and has the skill of making their nervousness and sense of urgency rub off on the reader. You won’t be able to put this one down. Truth in Hiding will continually send tremors through your heart on every page and it will take long to recover. It is daring. It is entertaining. It is insanely absorbing.
