The Lost Man by Jane Harper is a standalone mystery set in the Australian outback. It centers on the Bright family, whose lives are upended when the body of Cameron Bright, one of three brothers, is found near a remote gravestone under mysterious circumstances. As Nathan, Cameron's older brother, investigates his death, long-buried family secrets and tensions begin to surface, revealing the dark truths behind their isolated existence.
Three brothers, one death, a fenceline stretching to the horizon.
Two brothers meet at the border of their vast cattle properties under the unrelenting sun of outback Queensland.
They are at the stockman's grave, a landmark so old, no one can remember who is buried there. But today, the scant shadow it casts was the last hope for their middle brother, Cameron.
The Bright family's quiet existence is thrown into grief and anguish.
Something had been troubling Cam. Did he lose hope and walk to his death? Because if he didn't, the isolation of the outback leaves few suspects...
For readers who loved The Dry and Force of Nature, Jane Harper has once again created a powerful story of suspense, set against a dazzling landscape.
