»Ich liebe die Australien-Krimis von Jane Harper.« Stephen King Der Bundesermittler Aaron Falk ist auf dem Weg ins südaustralische Weinland, um bei einer Taufe dabei zu sein. Genau vor einem Jahr ist dort eine Frau verschwunden: Kim Gillespie hat offenbar ihr schlafendes Kind auf einer Kirmes zurückgelassen. Danach hat sie niemand mehr gesehen. Das Rätsel ihres Verschwindens ist immer noch nicht gelöst, und eine neue Suche beginnt. Falk versucht, die letzten Schritte von Kim zu rekonstruieren. Er begreift, dass die Ermittler vermutlich einen Fehler begangen haben: Sie haben das gesehen, was sie sehen wollten – und sind auf eine große Täuschung hereingefallen. »Wieder einmal beweist Harper, dass sie es wie keine andere versteht, eine Lawine von Spannung zu erzeugen.« David Baldacci »Nachdenklich und einfühlsam – Aaron Falk ist viel mehr als ein gewöhnlicher Detective.« New York Times Book Review

Celle-ci n'est jamais revenue d'un challenge d'entreprise dans le bush.

The gripping new novel from the author of the Sunday Times top ten bestseller, Waterstones Thriller of the Month, Sunday Times Crime Book of the Month, and Simon Mayo Radio 2 Book Club Choice, The Dry. FIVE WENT OUT. FOUR CAME BACK... Is Alice here? Did she make it? Is she safe? In the chaos, in the night, it was impossible to say which of the four had asked after Alice's welfare. Later, when everything got worse, each would insist it had been them. 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 landscape 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
