Description:
'A talented debut. Scott has produced historical fiction that is both
atmospheric as unforgettable. Threat and suspense until the last page.'
Publisher's Weekly
'Scott is a master of mood, painting in dark brushstrokes a mythic landscape of desire and deceit.' New York Times
In the winter of 1897, Elspeth Howell walks for miles over snow and ice to
the isolated farmhouse in upstate New York where she and her husband
raised five children. The money she earned as a midwife,
she has hidden them in the toes of her boots and her backpack is full of presents
for her family. But when she comes over the last hill and her darkened
house and a smokeless chimney, she knows immediately that an unthinkable crime has destroyed the life she had so carefully built.
'James Scott, one of America's greatest new talents, has written a disturbing yet graceful debut novel with Hidden.' USA Today
