As a fan of thrillers, particularly this year when they’ve helped me out of some deep reading ruts, I was pleased when the publicist for Opa Hysea Wise’s No Place to Hide reached out to me to spotlight her newest book. It is, quote: “a captivating and fast-paced mystery thriller that is stunningly existential.”

Oblivious to the danger she is in, Smythe refuses FBI protection and thinks she can just move on with her life. As an unintentional witness to a murder, her life, and the lives of those close to her, are threatened. Many brushes with death create a sense of urgency in Smythe to move past her current circumstance, but this journey is not one that she would have not chosen but one that was chosen for her.
Smythe begins to ask the question: Why me? Why this? She struggles to understand not only herself and her own life but the lives of those around her. How are we all woven together in this tapestry called “life?” Smythe yearns to find answers in the midst of this chaos.
Smythe is a woman with vision in her eyes and fire in her soul, searching for meaning in what she saw and the consequences that test everything she thought she knew. Can she keep from unraveling or was her journey to find meaning in vain? She is torn between what heart truly yearns for the having to fight the unexpected battle that lays before her. Leaning in, she lingers in the mystery of the unknown.
