Alice Vega has made a career of finding the missing and vulnerable against a ticking clock, but she’s never had a case like Zeb Williams, missing for over thirty years. It was 1984, and the big Cal-Stanford football game was tied with seconds left on the clock. Zeb Williams grabbed the ball and ran the wrong way, through the marching band, off the field and out of the stadium. He disappeared into legend, replete with Elvis-like sightings and a cult following.
Zeb’s cold trail leads Vega to southern Oregon, where she discovers an anxious community living under siege by a local hate group called the Liberty Boys. As Vega starts digging into the past, the mystery around Zeb’s disappearance grows deeper, and the reach of the Liberty Boys grows more disturbing. Everyone has something to hide, and no one can cut to the truth like Alice Vega. But this time, her partner Max Caplan has his own problems at home, and the trouble Vega finds might be too much for her to handle.
The Review
HIDEOUT by Louisa Luna
Alice Vega goes in deep and gets more than she bargained for while on a new missing person case. She’s stumbled upon a white supremacist group and she’s ready to take each member head-on, one by one.
Both Cap and Nell get involved this time around and I’m loving this familial group at work and at play.
I didn’t connect with THE JANES as much, the last book in the series, but feel that the magic is back with HIDEOUT. The magic, I believe is the character makeup of Vega and the interpersonal dynamics between her and Cap.
In this book, Vega’s personality shines. She has always been a strong character but this book really showed how multifaceted and much like a Swiss Army knife she is. No one is a match for her once she sets her mind to it.
Oh, and the teasing that’s done with the ever-present, will they won’t they, question that lingers between Cap and Vega is very, very effective.
It’s a lot of fun to read!
This book is out now and ready for you to pick up.
Thanks to Netgalley and Doubleday Books for the advanced copy!
HIDEOUT….⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
