Publisher Description

She wants the truth... or does she?

They say nothing interesting ever happens in Bell, Mississippi, but this summer, that's all changed. Sixteen-year-old Lauren's district attorney mother is prosecuting the biggest murder trial of her career, and Lauren's lifelong crush, Bowie Weston, has finally noticed she's alive. Too bad it's for the wrong reason. He's the son of the defendant.

Bowie's determined to keep his mom out of prison, and he thinks Lauren may be the key. But while she wants to believe in Bowie and wishes she could help him, she knows better than to interfere. Her mom has already sacrificed so much for this case--she can't lose the trial, too.

And Lauren can't help but wonder, like everyone in town, how much Bowie knows about what happened the night his father died. And whether he was somehow involved.

All Lauren knows for sure is that someone is lying. If she risks helping Bowie, she might be able to prove his mother's innocence and finally win his heart. But in the process, she could lose much more.

What He Hides is a twisty, unpredictable Young Adult mystery that will have you up all night turning pages to find out whodunit while falling madly in love with someone who may very well turn out to be the wrong guy.

Perfect for readers who crave the breathless romance of first love combined with a layered and deliciously deceptive psychological thriller. The unexpected twists, shocking revelations, juicy secrets and compelling suspense build right up until the surprising conclusion. It's Pretty Little Liars meets Veronica Mars with a side of Jagged Edge.

A must-read if you can't get enough of Sharp Objects and Riverdale!
