Two years ago, Charlotte Mercer buried the love of her life — decorated army officer James Mercer — after he was declared killed in action during a covert mission overseas. She mourned him. She let him go.

Until now.

When a plain envelope arrives with no return address, Charlie's world shatters all over again. Inside is a grainy CCTV photo taken just days ago... of a man who looks exactly like James. Beneath it, a chilling message: "Do you really know the man you married?"

With no leads and danger closing in, Charlie sets out on a relentless search for the truth. But the deeper she digs, the more she uncovers — of secret operations, buried betrayals, and a past James never told her about. Someone is watching her. Someone wants her to stop asking questions. But Charlotte didn't survive two years of grief just to be silenced now.

Her husband is alive.
He lied to protect her.
Now, she has to find him before the people hunting him find her.

The Dead Don't Hide is a twisting, heart-pounding thriller about love, deception, and the price of truth — perfect for fans of Gone Girl, The Widow, and The Girl on the Train.
