A small Australian town in the middle of nowhere has secrets.
The novel is set in a small Australian town with big secrets.
After receiving news of the tragic death of his childhood friend, federal agent Aaron Fox returns to his hometown for the first time in twenty years to face the demons of the past. Twenty years ago, Fock and his father were forced to flee their home to escape a brutal murder charge.
Against the backdrop of the worst drought in a century, Phok, paired with a local detective, tries to find out what really happened to his friend. But in a small town, everyone is hiding a secret, and someone really doesn't want Fox to find out the truth.
Two brothers, Nathan and Bub Bright, meet for the first time in months on the border of their land in the hot Australian outback. Here, near a lonely grave on the edge of the desert, the body of the third brother, Cameron, was found. The middle child in the family, he had an education, a wife, two daughters and successfully managed the farm his brothers inherited from their father. What made him leave his car and head out into the desert alone under the scorching sun? While the family mourns Cameron's death, Nathan can't shake the feeling that his brother's death doesn't look like suicide. To find out the truth, Nathan will have to dig into some unpleasant family secrets, but if someone pushed Cameron to his death, suspects are few and far between in this remote area.
A powerful and brutal story set against stunning landscapes keeps the reader on their toes, proving once again that Jane Harper, author of Drought and Forces of Nature, is one of the most exciting voices in contemporary literature.
The Giralong Ranges, the primeval Australian bush. Five women went on a hike. Four returned. What could have happened in four short days?
Jane Harper, author of the bestselling book Drought, convincingly proves that anything can happen. Cold and heavy rain, impenetrable thickets and poisonous snakes, hunger and fatigue, and these mountains are notorious: twenty years ago, a cruel maniac attacked lonely tourists here.
Federal agent Aaron Fox is forced to take on the case because he had a professional interest in the missing woman: by pulling this string, he hoped to unravel the tangle of financial crimes.
Only, having found himself in the remote wilderness and unearthed a whole web of ancient and recent secrets, he himself began to doubt whether the impenetrable bush would reveal its secrets, because here, like nowhere else, the primordial power of nature comes to life.
