'Gripping, atmospheric and ultimately deeply satisfying' Val McDermid

He had started to remove his clothes as logic had deserted him, and his skin was cracked. Whatever had been going through Cameron's mind when he was alive, he didn't look peaceful in death.

Two brothers meet at the remote border of their vast cattle properties under the unrelenting sun of the outback. In an isolated part of Australia, they are each other's nearest neighbour, their homes hours apart.

They are at the stockman's grave, a landmark so old that 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 Cameron. Did he choose to walk to his death? Because if he didn't, the isolation of the outback leaves few suspects...

What readers are saying:

'Jane Harper is an incredible story teller'

'So good I couldn't put it down and finished it too quickly!'

'I could almost taste the dust and feel the relentless heat'

'Take a duvet day off work and read it cover to cover. You won't be disappointed!'

I read it in 24 hours. It's gripping, atmospheric and ultimately deeply satisfying
I absolutely loved The Lost Man. I devoured it in a day. Her best yet!
Harper secures her place as queen of outback noir with this haunting family mystery
Harper's gripping third novel...is her most accomplished yet: a moving story of loneliness, grief and redemption
Like its precursors, The Dry and Force of Nature, The Lost Man is a gripping mystery that drips with atmosphere (and sweat). This time, though, Harper has added an emotional heft that is deeply moving. It is her best book yet
Jane Harper writes beautifully and compellingly about the Australian Outback. Superb
In just a couple of years, Jane Harper has soared into the first rank of contemporary crime writers. The Lost Man... returns to the parched landscape she used to such powerful effect in her debut, The Dry... Three generations of women - the dead man's mother, wife and daughters - struggle to come to terms with terrible events, and the family's shocking history holds the key to this superb murder mystery
I read Jane Harper's The Lost Man in February, the height of Australia's summer but the depths of the English winter. The image at the heart of the novel, of a man who has perished in the punishing heat of Australia's outback, has stayed with me ever since. Just as good - perhaps even better - than Harper's excellent thrillers The Dry and Force of Nature
A riveting, deeply atmospheric read
Another splendid slice of outback noir...Fabulously atmospheric, the book starts slowly and gradually picks up pace towards a jaw-dropping denouement
Harper's debut, The Dry, centred on the horrific murder of a family in a hot, remote Australian town. Her follow-up, Force of Nature, moved the setting to the bushland, where a woman goes missing on a corporate retreat. The landscape of The Lost Man is even more hostile, even more alien and beautiful, as Harper deftly manipulates her small but fully realised cast to a conclusion
One of the best written and most accessible novels of its kind in years . . . utterly absorbing
A third superb novel from the author of bestseller The Dry . . . Harper's intricate, beautifully woven mystery...sucks you into a world where nothing is ever what it seems and everyone has secrets . . . Told with mesmerising skill, it is a compelling portrait of isolation and the strain it exerts on even the strongest character. A little masterpiece
Harper's writing creates a vivid sense of place . . . She tells a disturbing tale, not just of death but also of domestic violence, sexual abuse, hidden secrets and shattered families

This extremely well written book is both suspenseful and adept at giving one the feeling of what it must be like living miles from anywhere in the harsh climate of the Australian Outback. You can hardly imagine why anyone would want to live there but then you get the perspective of characters who would not be anywhere else. Woven into the landscape is a story that you could hardly expect to take place in such a remote location. What can I say? Just "read it".

A trip to the Outback without actually going there

I signed up because I wanted to listen to great audio books and this is a really good one. Another enthralling and atmospheric mystery from Jane Harper, and with like The Dry, superb narration... and there seems to be a subtle nod to The Dry in the story content... but maybe I miss heard?

A great Audible book

Excellent story and so beautifully read by Stephen Shanahan, he really was a good reader and brought the characters to life. I couldn't wait to get back to the book every evening and was disappointed to finish it.

I had limited expectations of this book - but it was a sufficiently different setting to be intriguing. Actually, it turned out to be a great book, with well defined characters and a plot which didn’t clear until the last half hour. Well worth sticking with past a slow-ish start!

An excellent listen!
