"Originally published in 2018 by Pan Macmillan Australia"--Title page verso.
Two brothers meet at the remote fence line separating their cattle ranches in the lonely outback. In an isolated belt of Western Australia, they are each other's nearest neighbor, their homes four hours' drive apart. The third brother lies dead at their feet. Something caused Cam, the middle child who had been in charge of the family homestead, to die alone in the middle of nowhere. So the eldest brother returns with his younger sibling to the family property and those left behind. But the fragile balance of the ranch is threatened. Amidst the grief, suspicion starts to take hold, and the eldest brother begins to wonder if more than one among them is at risk of crumbling as the weight of isolation bears down on them all. Dark, suspenseful, and deeply atmospheric, The Lost Man is the highly anticipated book from the bestselling and award-winning Jane Harper, author of The Dry and Force of Nature .

COMMUNITY REVIEWS

Murder in an ultra-insular outback setting submitted by bec on June 28, 2019, 8:33am Harper is back with a murder mystery set in the Australian outback, and this book really plays to her strengths. The setting is vivid and deadly and creates a sense of claustrophobia that makes solving the mystery even more urgent. As Nathan digs into his brother's life and death in their isolated community, he uncovers a cycle of family memory and forgetfulness in which he, too, has played a part. I've read but not loved Harper's two other books, which center on Inspector Aaron Falk (who isn't in this book at all), and I think the Lost Man is the best of the bunch.

HOT Summer Read submitted by sdunav on July 11, 2019, 5:19pm Dark mystery set in the wilds of rural Queensland. There are many family secrets, punishing landscapes, lost chances and mistakes in this hard-to-put-down story.

Excellent Story submitted by Jhopson on October 22, 2022, 8:08pm An excellent story set in the Australian Outback. A compelling story full of family secrets with a great ending. Highly recommend!
