AlbakiReads Editorial An archaeological thriller shaped by buried histories and group loyalties
An archaeological thriller shaped by buried histories and group loyalties
Set in southern Greece in 2004, The Hidden places an archaeological excavation alongside a more volatile excavation of trust. Ben Mercer arrives after a failed marriage and strained family ties, joining an unusually close group whose attractions, rivalries, and private games are not immediately clear to him. The novel uses the search for traces of an ancient power to frame questions about secrecy, desire, and the costs attached to belonging. As Ben is drawn further into the group’s charged relationships, the divide between scholarly discovery and personal danger narrows.
Good fit for readers who enjoy
- Readers interested in crime and espionage-leaning thrillers
- Fans of fiction set around archaeology and ancient history

"An unusual, exhilarating hybrid of high-stakes, propulsive narrative; erudite, yet breezy summations of specialized historical data; and strikingly evocative language." -- New York Times Book Review
From PEN/Macmillan award-winning novelist and poet Tobias Hill, a thrilling novel of astonishing grace and power that explores the secrets we keep, the ties that bind us, and the true cost of fulfilling our desires.
In southern Greece in 2004, a close-knit group of archaeologists searches for the buried traces of a formidable ancient power. A student running from a failed marriage and family, Ben Mercer is a latecomer to their ranks, drawn to the charisma of the group's members--to the double-edged friendship of Jason, the unsettling beauty of Natsuko and Eleschen, and the menace of Max and Eberhard. But Ben is far too eager to join the excavation project, and there is more to the group's dangerous games and dynamic than he understands. And there are things that should always remain hidden.
