The brilliantly twisty mystery from Jane Harper, the bestselling author of The Dry and Force of Nature, now major films starring Eric Bana.

'A fantastic crime writer' - Bella Mackie, author of How To Kill Your Family

In Exiles, Investigator Aaron Falk finds himself drawn into a complex web of tightly held secrets in South Australia's wine country.

A mother disappears from a busy festival on a warm spring night.

Her baby lies alone in the pram, waiting for a return that never comes.

A year later, Kim Gillespie's 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 Kim's 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 . . .

Exiles is a New York Times and Sunday Times Top 10 bestseller and the final Aaron Falk mystery, following on from The Dry and Force of Nature.
