title: The Hidden: A Novel
author:  Tobias Hill 
description: &#8220;[A] high-stakes, propulsive narrative. . . . The novel&#8217;s ideas are explored with stylish rigor and a rare boldness made all the more powerful by its surprising lyricism. (New York Times Book Review)<br /><br />&#8220;The ingenious plot twists of THE HIDDEN are satisfying to follow, and the book&#8217;s constant sifting of the present through the past is done with admirable intelligence. But what lingers more than anything are these quick, sure, playfully notational passages. You don&#8217;t often see writing as lively as this.&#8221; (The Guardian)<br /><br />&#8220;Apart from everything else that this novel is a beautifully paced thriller, a meditation on loss, guilt, obsession...it is also one of the finest novels written so far about this, our age of terror.&#8221; (The Observer)<br /><br />&#8220;Hill keeps the tension building to a climax which features the most unpleasant final image I&#8217;ve come across in a long time. Quite brilliant.&#8221; (The Independent on Sunday)<br /><br />&#8220;[An] elegant, sinister novel&#8230;Grippingly good.&#8221; (Marie Claire (UK))<br /><br />&#8220;[T]his is a wonderful novel: elegant yet savage, restrained yet full-throttled, illuminated by the sort of brilliance that leaves you short of breath.&#8221; (Daily Telegraph (London))

  _Hard Line  
  _ By Sidney Bell
  
  
  "Bell writes a meaty romance that you can't put down, and it's a worthy
  addition to the M/M contemporary romance genre."

  Premed student Tobias Benton is making amends for his past. He keeps his head
  down, mouth shut and colors within the lines. But when his close friend Ghost
  goes missing, Tobias will do whatever it takes to get answers--including using
  blackmail to enlist some help. The last thing he's looking for is romance.
  
  
  Private investigator Sullivan Tate isn't above a little breaking and entering
  to solve a case, but when Tobias catches him in the act, it's almost game
  over. Their uneasy alliance only gets more complicated when Sullivan learns
  that Tobias shares his interest in kink. Mixing sex and work could kill
  Sullivan's career, but Tobias's acceptance of Sullivan's darkest urges is
  nearly impossible to resist.
