Rachel Amphlett: 'What Evil Hides'

Join Rachel Amphlett in conversation with Belinda Pollard as they discuss the latest Detective Kay Hunter thriller,  set in a tight-lipped farming community with a trail of conflicting stories and longheld secrets. About the book A man’s body is discovered in a Kent hop field, his death marked by disturbing injuries and no immediate clues. As Detective Kay Hunter begins to investigate, the case quickly reveals itself to be anything but routine. The local farming community is tight-lipped, the victim’s background is murky, and the evidence uncovers a trail of conflicting stories and long-held secrets. With the pressure of a high-profile case mounting, Kay must rely on methodical police work, forensic leads, and her team’s instincts to unravel a complex web of lies. But as the investigation deepens, it becomes clear that someone is prepared to do whatever it takes to keep the truth hidden. In a landscape shaped by tradition and silence, some secrets are buried for a reason. Everyday routines mask an unsettling truth in this taut and realistic crime thriller. Great for readers who want UK‑style realism and twisty cases, and perfect for fans of Robert Crais, Dennis Lehane and Don Winslow.
