The Sunday Times bestseller from acclaimed international bestselling sensation Jane Harper. Exiles is the gripping mystery of one woman's unsolved disappearance in Australia's wine country.
A mother disappears from a busy festival on a warm spring night.
Her baby lies alone in the pram, her mothers possessions surrounding her, waiting for a return which never comes.
A year later, Kim Gillespies absence still casts a long shadow as her friends and loved ones gather to welcome a new addition to the family.
Joining the celebrations on a rare break from work is federal investigator Aaron Falk, who begins to suspect that all is not as it seems.
As he looks into Kims case, long-held secrets and resentments begin to come to the fore, secrets that show that her community is not as close as it appears.
Falk will have to tread carefully if he is to expose the dark fractures at its heart, but sometimes it takes an outsider to get to the truth . . .
An outstanding novel, a brilliant mystery and a heart-pounding read from the author of The Dry, Force of Nature, The Lost Man and The Survivors.
