Hidden in Plain Sight is the second brilliant and captivating novel featuring William Warwick by the master storyteller and bestselling author of the Clifton Chronicles, Jeffrey Archer.
Do you want the good news or the bad?
William Warwick has been promoted to Detective Sergeant but his promotion has meant reassignment, along with the rest of his team, to the Drugs Squad in Southwark, where they are immediately tasked with apprehending a drug dealer known as 'Viper' who is operating a drugs factory out of South London.
Daunted by the task facing him and his team, Warwick catches a lucky break when he sees a known street-level dealer, who he recognizes from his school days. With the threat of prison looming Warwick convinces the dealer to turn informer and so begins the operation to capture 'Viper' and stop the production of huge quantities of drugs that are flooding London's streets.
Meanwhile, the wicked Miles Faulkner, in the midst of being divorced by his wife Christina, makes a mistake that could see him put behind bars . . .
With Jeffrey Archer's trademark twists and turns Hidden in Plain Sight is the extraordinary sequel to Nothing Ventured, the first novel featuring William Warwick.

      Set in 1986, bestseller Archer’s disappointing sequel to 2019’s Nothing Ventured finds London police officer William Warwick promoted to detective sergeant and transferred to a new specialized unit, “whose sole purpose will be to track down one particular drug baron and take him out.” Though this drug lord, known as the Viper, controls half of the city’s narcotics trade, the police know almost nothing about him, including what he looks like. Warwick’s new assignment coincides with the trial of Miles Faulkner, who was previously convicted of fraud, for possessing cocaine with the intent to sell. As it happens, the Crown’s court case is led by Warwick’s father, Sir Julian, an eminent attorney, aided by Warwick’s sister, Grace. Meanwhile, Warwick is preparing to get married. Faulkner shows up at the wedding and interrupts the ceremony to allege that Warwick slept with his wife, Christina. Fortunately, Christina is on hand to explain that Warwick actually rejected her advances. More contrivances follow. Paper-thin characters do nothing to redeem an implausible plot, and a cliffhanger ending doesn’t help. This won’t go down as one of Archer’s better works.
