A story of desperation, resolution and small-town prejudice played out against the blistering extremes of life on the land. Amid the worst drought to ravage Australia in a century, a farmer turns his gun on his family and then himself. As questions mount and suspicion casts a long shadow over the parched town, specialist investigator Aaron Falk is forced to confront the community that rejected him 20 years earlier.

Great Aussie Read

A scorching Australian thriller
Desperation, drought and small-town prejudice fight it out in this tautly plotted mystery by Australian author Jane Harper.
When specialist investigator Aaron Falk returns to his home town to look into a strange death, he begins to ask questions. Why would a farmer kill his family and then himself? What lay behind this dark act? And how is it connected to another death, years before?
This is a crime book where you can taste the dust of a drought-ravaged land, and can feel the blistering sun beating down.
Harper's whodunnit is expertly narrated by Steve Shanahan, who coolly guides us through the twists and turns of the story without hesitation. We think this is a modern Australian classic that will keep you guessing to the very end.
