About The Hiding Season

From the UK Queen of spy fiction, comes a brilliant new spy novel set in the heart of America.

Escaping a broken marriage, Maya Landry moves to Bozeman, Montana, the gateway to the Rocky Mountains. Working at an exclusive private ski-resort in the off-season, Maya finds her new life of quiet reflection in the mountains is going exactly as she’d hoped . . . until one day she stumbles across a dead body.

With no phone signal, she races to get help. But when she returns with the police, the body is gone. Later that night Maya meets a stranger who tells her the killers were watching. They know who she is. And they are coming for her.

Forced to change her identity, leave everything behind, and go into hiding, Maya finds a way to start over. But, when her hiding place is compromised, she has to decide just how long she’s willing to hide. When is it time to stand up and fight?

From a ski lodge in the Rocky Mountains to the Dirty Sixth in Austin, and from an anonymous safehouse in Texas to downtown Chicago, this is a page-turning, pulse-pounding thriller that explores the collateral damage of an FBI operation gone wrong.  

The Hiding Season is the latest page-turning, atmospheric thriller from the “the new queen of spy fiction” Ava Glass, author of global smash and CWA Steel Dagger nominee The Chase and 2023 Richard & Judy Book Club selection The Traitor.
