Publisher's Summary
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 fans who loved The Dry and Force of Nature, Jane Harper has once again created a powerful story of suspense, set against a dazzling landscape.
Critic Reviews
“I ask in earnest: How the hell does she do it? The Lost Man is Jane Harper's third consecutive marvel...and, against long odds, her most marvellous yet, pitting brother against brother, man against nature, reader against the clock. What an extraordinary novel: part family drama, part indelible ode to the Outback - a thriller as forceful and atmospheric as a brewing storm. Harper works miracles. We're lucky to witness them.” (A. J. FINN author of The Woman in the Window)
“I read this with the growing realisation that it was not only another superb thriller but a classic work of fiction by one of the finest novelists now working. Man Booker judges for 2019, are you listening?” (New Zealand Hearald Weekend Magazine)
"In The Lost Man, Jane Harper surpasses her achievement in The Dry, her multi-award winning first novel. A broad range of Australian and international readers will be engaged by the strong setting and mystery storyline of the new novel." (Weekend Australian)

An Absolute Cracker
I loved this book; Jane Harper takes a terrific story and wraps it up in the beautiful, lonely expanse of the Australian outback. Steve Shanahan nailed the performance, portraying the characters brilliantly and setting an even and believable pace. The interview after the book finishes is worth listening to as well.

Great story about outback Australia
If you want to know about the way of life in the out back Australia and read a well written story you found the perfect match. It took me quite a while to get used to the way Steve Shanahan reads the novel, special the first chapter which is all tense dialogue but once you get used to his tone of voice (and Australian accent) I enjoyed it very much.

Great story
I did really enjoy this story. I love the narrator's tone of voice but he does often sound annoyed. Good 'read'
