The Hidden

Hard hitting. Fast paced. High stakes. Welcome to the fourth instalment of the Black Force Shorts series from Matt Rogers, a million-copy bestseller and 'a bright new talent shaking up the genre' (Candice Fox).

Twenty-three-year-old Will Slater has been part of the shadowy government division, Black Force, for six months. Already blazing a trail through the murky criminal underworld, Slater is setting the bar for what a young prodigy with a relentless work ethic, and a death wish, is capable of.

But on a cold evening in Chicago, he’s tasked with investigating a corrupt police commander named Ray D’Agostino. Deliberately getting himself arrested to find out more about the man, Slater will learn exactly where his limits are – and find out just how far he’s willing to push himself to get the job done.
