What an extraordinary novel: part family drama, part indelible ode to the outback - a thriller as forceful and atmospheric as a brewing storm. and, against long odds, her most marvellous yet, pitting brother against brother, man against nature, reader against the clock. 'I ask in earnest: How the hell does she do it? The Lost Man is Jane Harper's third consecutive marvel. 'I loved this hugely atmospheric thriller with beautifully-drawn characters.' - Laura Marshall I was mesmerised by this extraordinary vast brutal place and Harper's minutely observed, subtle and nuanced story within it.' - Rosamund Lupton 'The novel shimmers with the heat of the Australian outback. It totally transcends genre, and it should win all the prizes.' - Marian Keyes Her other two books were amazing, but this is in a different league. 'I don't have words for how much I loved it. I was absolutely blown away by it.' - Kate Hamer ' The Lost Man is a compulsive, gripping read from start to finish with an atmosphere you can cut with a knife. Hugely recommended - though be warned, it's even more addictive than Lee Child.' - Amanda Craig Even better than The Dry, making brilliant use of the parched outback as well as an isolated family over an Australian Christmas. The setting, the heat, the characters and the pace at which it unravels - just so, so good.' - Sabine Durrant

It's gripping, atmospheric and ultimately deeply satisfying.' - Val McDermid 'A riveting, deeply atmospheric read' - The Mail Publisher: Little, Brown Book Group ISBN: 9780349142135 Number of pages: 432 Weight: 320 g Dimensions: 196 x 126 x 30 mm MEDIA REVIEWS Did he choose to walk to his death? Because if he didn't, the isolation of the outback leaves few suspects. The Bright family's quiet existence is thrown into grief and anguish. But today, the scant shadow it casts was the last hope for their middle brother, Cameron. They are at the stockman's grave, a landmark so old that no one can remember who is buried there. In an isolated part of Australia, they are each other's nearest neighbour, their homes hours apart. Two brothers meet at the remote border of their vast cattle properties under the unrelenting sun of the outback. Whatever had been going through Cameron's mind when he was alive, he didn't look peaceful in death. He had started to remove his clothes as logic had deserted him, and his skin was cracked.
