HIDE AND SEEK (Drops on Christmas Day)

In 1995, Clementine Wilson was murdered in her home by the serial killer dubbed, "The Slicer". The slaying was witnessed by her two sons: Christopher (10) and Omar (8). The boys spent the next seven years in and out of numerous foster homes. When Christopher became too old for the foster care system, he joined the army. Feeling abandoned by the only relative he'd ever known, Omar ran away; seemingly swallowed by the streets. The brothers didn't see each other again for twenty years. As fate would have it, their paths crossed when they least expected - at the scene of a gruesome murder.

Determined to not let another twenty years go by without seeing each other, the brothers latch on to each other literally and figuratively. Once Christopher learns that Omar is living a nomad lifestyle - drifting from city to city - he insists that Omar come and stay with him for a while. It doesn't take long during their reunion for the brothers to realize how different they were. One brother likes to hunt...the other likes to kill.

Best-selling author, Brian W. Smith, returns with another mind-blowing psychological thriller. In his latest novel, Smith forces readers to examine their relationship(s) with their sibling(s) and think about how they would react if they learned that the serial killer whom they hunted is a family member living under their roof. Could you arrest, or if need be, kill, the person you were taught to love?
