One June evening in the Detroit suburb of Ferndale, a minibus belonging to a group home for handicapped adults disappears. Acting Chief of Detectives Martin Preuss organizes the search for the van along with the woman who was driving and her passenger, a handicapped young man. Preuss's investigation ranges across the entire metropolitan Detroit region into the lives of a homeless woman who is a Marine Corps veteran, an 83-year-old private investigator, a retired FBI operative with a penchant for conspiracy theories, and a variety of unsavory types from the drug trade. Working through layer upon layer of secrets, Preuss exposes a multitude of crimes with roots in the twentieth century's darkest period. Complex, chilling, and compulsively readable, Guilt in Hiding finds Preuss investigating the most disturbing and unforgettable crimes of his career. This third entry in the Martin Preuss series is a must-read for fans of the Detroit-based crime novels of Elmore Leonard and Loren Estleman, as well as the character-driven social commentaries of the Wallander series by Henning Mankell.
