Maggie Bradford is on trial for murder - in the celebrity trial of the decade.As one of the world's best-loved singer-songwriters, she seems to have it all. So how could she have murdered not just one, but two of her husbands?
Will Shephard was Maggie's second husband.A magnificent athlete and film star, he was just as famous. But Will had dark, dangerous secrets that none of his fans could have imagined... that his own wife could never dreamed of.

Hide and Seek was James Patterson’s first non-Alex Cross novel after finding fame with Among Came a Spider in 1994. (Just look at how prominent his name is on this first edition cover!) After two Alex Cross novels, Patterson turned to a standalone thriller to prove that he could be successful with his favorite protagonist. The result is thrilling story of family intrigue and murder.

Maggie Bradford is on trial for murder. Again. As one of the top singer-songwriters in the world, the nation was shocked when he first husband was murdered and evidence pointed toward Maggie. She escaped on a technicality and, after a while, resumed her celebrity lifestyle. She remarried. This time to an athlete turned film star perhaps even more popular than her. Then he was murdered as well. Hide and Seek is not just a compelling mystery of the murder of famous film star Will Shephard or the legal thriller of Maggie Bradford’s trial, it’s also an intense drama about the effect of fame, fortune and power.
