by Robyn Gigl
A trans detective working for the District Attorney's Office takes on the twisty, poignant cold case murder of a local trans woman, and her investigation unravels the threads of a mystery that's haunted her since she was a child: her mother's disappearance.
When Lieutenant Lauren Kelly is exiled to the Homicide Cold Case Unit at the DA's office, she knows her superiors are sticking her there as punishment until she can quietly retire. That way, no one can claim they discriminated against the only trans detective in Donn County.
Even though Lauren has enough on her plate already—a teenage daughter struggling with Lauren's transition, an ex-wife Lauren hasn't gotten over, a former detective father with Alzheimer's—she starts looking into the murder of Sherry Darling, a trans sex worker and Lauren's former high school classmate. As Lauren looks deeper into Sherry's case, she finds evidence of a cover-up with far-reaching implications that may or may not be tied to the reason her mother left.
"What a wonder! All We Hide is a riveting police procedural with a massive, beating heart. Robyn Gigl introduces the terrific trans detective Lauren Kelly, a forensic force whose investigations are always personal, and who is dedicated to healing old wounds. If cold-case podcasts dominate your feed and you can hum the Law & Order theme song, get this superb thriller immediately. It will change the way you think about whose voices need to be heard. All We Hide is a gift for all of us, a procedural that feels as intimately tender and hopeful as it is intricately plotted. Your fingers will burn from turning the pages so fast." —Margot Douaihy, bestselling author of Scorched Grace
