HIDDEN, published by British-based Severn House, is a departure for Olson, author of the New Haven-based Annie Seymour mystery series and the Tattoo Shop Mysteries.

Set on idyllic Block Island, HIDDEN slowly reveals Nicole’s story as she realizes her refuge is not the safe haven she thought it was.

Kirkus Book Reviews says: “Olson provides thrills and spills as her resourceful heroine uses her considerable skills to escape her past.”

USA Today bestselling author Alison Gaylin calls HIDDEN “an edge-of-your-seat thriller with surprises at every turn.”

HIDDEN will be followed by a sequel, SHADOWED, which will be released on June 1. Olson is also working on a third book in the series titled BETRAYED.

Olson is the winner of the Sara Ann Freed Memorial Award and a Shamus Award finalist.
