Because if someone forced Cameron to his death, the isolation of the outback leaves few suspects.Ī powerful and brutal story of suspense set against a formidable landscape, The Lost Man confirms Jane Harper, author of The Dry and Force of Nature, is one of the best new voices in writing today. While they grieve Cameron’s loss, suspicion starts to take hold, and Nathan is forced to examine secrets the family would rather leave in the past. Nathan, Bub and Nathan’s son return to Cameron’s ranch and to those left behind by his passing: his wife, his daughters, and his mother, as well as their long-time employee and two recently hired seasonal workers. But something made him head out alone under the unrelenting sun. I liked all the red-herrings and like most people, was happily surprised Sean was the bad guy. Cameron was the middle child, the one who ran the family homestead. I really liked Harper’s first book, ‘The Dry.’ I will definitely go on and read ‘The Lost Man.’ I lived in Tasmania for a couple of years, and I think Harper caught the small town coastal feel nicely, especially with Surf and Turf. In an isolated belt of Australia, their homes a three-hour drive apart, the brothers were one another’s nearest neighbors. Their third brother, Cameron, lies dead at their feet. Two brothers meet in the remote Australian outback when the third brother is found dead, in this stunning new standalone novel from Jane Harperīrothers Nathan and Bub Bright meet for the first time in months at the remote fence line separating their cattle ranches in the lonely outback.
