In Hiding: A Crime Novel

by Timothy Sheard

What would you do if the woman of your dreams disappeared? Peter Davies is mad about his neighbor Angie but too shy to tell her of his love. When she goes missing, his search for her sets brings him deep into the brutal world of sex trafficking, brothels and forced prostitution. Along the way Peter encounters a radical feminist group that liberates captive young women by force. To save his beloved Angie, he must not only prove himself to the feminist’s leader, but also face the cold-hearted madam in charge of the most violent brothel in the city, the Black Pearl.

About the author

Hi. I'm a veteran nurse and have worked for 40 years in hospitals. I want to tell the world what it's really like on the front lines of the American health factory. So my crime stories capture the gritty, scary, funny and loving events I see every day in the hospital.
I'm also active in the National Writers Union and the labor movement, because working people need a champion to defend our livelihood and our dignity. So my stories include the struggles that everyday working people encounter on the job and in the community. I'm proud to tell these stories. They need to be read more widely.
Through the NWU I've helped nurture many aspring writers. Quite a few have gone on to be published. I moderate two writing groups a week, one on the job, one at work. If you have a desire to write and become published, I urge you to join the NWU and join or form a writers group - it's the best way to develop your craft and learn how to break into publishing.
There's lot of good suff on my web site, www.timsheard.com. Check it out.
Good luck, Tim Sheard
