The man lay still in the centre of a dusty grave under a monstrous sky.

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 chance for their middle brother, Cameron.

The Bright family's quiet existence is thrown into grief and anguish. Something had been troubling Cameron. 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.

Lost, Cold, Desperate ... Danger Runs Deep

Five women reluctantly pick up their backpacks and start walking along the muddy track. Only four come out the other side.

The hike through the rugged Giralang Ranges is meant to take the office colleagues out of their air-conditioned comfort zone and teach resilience and team building. At least that is what the corporate retreat website advertises.

Federal Police Agent Aaron Falk has a particularly keen interest in the whereabouts of the missing bushwalker. Alice Russell is the whistleblower in his latest case - and Alice knew secrets. About the company she worked for and the people she worked with.

Far from the hike encouraging teamwork, the women tell Falk a tale of suspicion, violence and disintegrating trust. And as he delves into the disappearance, it seems some dangers may run far deeper than anyone knew.

Un thriller adictivo que aborda de forma magistral la corrupción de las empresas y la lucha contra los elementos de cinco mujeres que, en condiciones extremas, harán lo que sea necesario para asegurar su supervivencia y la de sus seres más queridos.

Alice Russell y cuatros compañeras de trabajo participan en una actividad para ejecutivos en la zona boscosa de Giralang Ranges, al este de Melbourne. Los directivos de la empresa, una prestigiosa compañía de contabilidad que el agente federal Aaron Falk está investigando por un presunto delito financiero, pretenden con esta acción fomentar el espíritu de equipo. Sin embargo, todo se tuerce cuando Alice, testigo clave en las pesquisas y confidente de Falk, desaparece y éste tiene que sumergirse en el corazón de una naturaleza exuberante y estigmatizada por el fantasma de un asesino en serie.

Así, mientras las cinco mujeres caminan sin rumbo entre el frío y la lluvia, y sobreviven a duras penas entre los silencios y las sombras de un bosque tan bello como terrible, Falk irá descubriendo no sólo que Alice dista mucho de ser apreciada por sus colegas, sino también un trasfondo de recelos y heridas que ha dinamitado la armonía del grupo y ha convertido esta aventura en una insospechada trampa mortal.

«Naturaleza salvaje logra combinar con habilidad el suspense, la supervivencia lejos de la civilización, personajes memorables y una escritura de gran belleza.»

«Como en Años de sequía, el espacio adquiere aquí un intenso protagonismo: hablamos de un paisaje azotado por unas durísimas condiciones meteorológicas y en el que acechan los peligros de la naturaleza.»
Financial Times

«Este thriller pone los pelos de punta y no da tregua hasta la última página.»
Daily Express

¿Quién mató realmente a la familia Hadler? La vida cotidiana en un pequeño pueblo rural al sureste de Australia está a punto de dar un giro sorprendente...

Una poderosa novela negra.

Volver a Kiewarra, pequeña comunidad al sureste de Australia, es lo último que el investigador de delitos financieros Aaron Falk desea. Y no sólo por el sol abrasador y la sequía pertinaz que han dejado al ganado famélico, a los granjeros desesperados y a la población desquiciada, sino también por el temor a que su presencia reavive las heridas que su precipitada partida dejó abiertas veinte años atrás. Sin embargo, cuando le comunican que Luke Hadler, su amigo de la infancia, y su familia han muerto de forma violenta, presuntamente en un acto de parricidio y posterior suicidio, se siente obligado a regresar.

Recibido con manifiesta hostilidad, Falk se propone no quedarse más de un par de días, pero las súplicas de los padres de Luke para que intente aclarar las circunstancias de la muerte de su hijo harán que reconsidere su decisión. Así, mientras colabora de forma extraoficial con el sargento Greg Raco, el jefe de policía local, Falk se verá obligado a encarar los fantasmas de su oscuro pasado y a enfrentarse al odio visceral que todavía le tienen algunos vecinos del pueblo.
