 Hiding in the Shadows byKay Hooper Bantam Books 339 pages, October 2000 ISBN 0553576925 Reviewed by PJ Nunn Imagine waking up in the hospital with a mind and memory as blank as a cloudy dark night. They say your name is Faith Parker, but it rings no bells. You were involved in an auto accident and have been in a coma for months, with just one but persistent visitor. A loyal and devoted friend, they tell you, but her name is as foreign to you as your own, and now she’s disappeared. That’s what happened to Faith Parker, but it’s not the end of her story. She soon learns that her self-proclaimed friend, Dinah Leighton, paid all of her hospital bills and expenses. Dinah also deposited fifty grand in Faith's bank account before she vanished, leaving the whole city searching for her. Kane MacGregor, Dinah’s self-proclaimed fiancé, wants to know what Dinah’s connection to Faith is. Faith wants to know, too. Doctors tell Faith that her memory will probably come back, in bits and pieces at first, then if she’s lucky, in its entirety. So Faith isn’t surprised when she starts having flashes and dreams. Unfortunately, the more often she has them, the more she’s convinced that the memories are Dinah’s and not just her own. Gradually pulled into the search for Dinah, FBI agent Noah Bishop suspects that Faith is experiencing some psychic communication, not unlike his own. That shocking revelation does little to ease Faith’s troubled mind, as the trio work diligently to find Dinah before they all wind up dead. Hiding in the Shadows, part of a trilogy featuring Noah Bishop and his unusual gifts, is a shining example of Hooper's talent as an excellent writer. This book demands attention from the first page, plunging the reader into the suspense, leaving even the most skeptical wondering if the psychic phenomena might just be based in truth. A wonderful, scary ride that leads to a surprising and satisfying conclusion. |
