Román vychádzajúcej austrálskej hviezdy kriminálnej literatúry opisuje veľmi sugestívne a so zmyslom pre gradovanie napätia nemilosrdnú austrálsku divočinu a ľudí, ktorí v nej žijú. Sú takí tvrdí a zocelení drsným životom a ťažkou prácou, že neraz dokážu byť krutejší ako sama príroda. Dvaja bratia sa stretnú pri plote oddeľujúcom ich statky. Hlboko v pustom vnútrozemí austrálskeho kontinentu sú široko-ďaleko jediní susedia. Ich domy sú od seba vzdialené na tri hodiny cesty autom. Cam, ich prostredný brat, ktorý sa stará o rodičovský ranč, im leží mŕtvy pri nohách. Zomrel sám, očividne vyčerpaný od smädu a horúčavy. Muži prinesú brata domov na ranč. Rodinu zasiahne hlboký smútok, v ktorom sa rodí neistota, narastá nedôvera a vzájomné upodozrievanie. Čo ak Cameron nezomrel prirodzenou smrťou? Čo ak izolácia a samota uprostred šírej pustatiny menia ľudí na stelesnené zlo? Jane Harperová napísala za tri roky tri bestsellery, podľa jedného z nich nakrúcajú v Hollywoode film. Zanechala novinárske remeslo, pustila sa do písania austrálskych trilerov a natrafila na zlatú žilu.

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

Egy őrült szerelem, amit megrázó csalódás követ. Egy kapcsolat, ami egy életre szól, és még annál is tovább. Bosszú, aminek még a halál sem állhatja útját. Barnabas Collinst, a New England-i hajómágnás család ifjú örökösét megbabonázza Angelique, a Martinique szigetéről érkező szolgáló egzotikus szépsége. Arra azonban, hogy a lány milyen sötét hatalmak szövetségese, csak akkor jön rá, amikor már késő: eljegyez valaki mást, Angelique pedig olyan bosszút esküszik ellene, ami a síron túl is üldözni fogja. Lara Parker a hetvenes évek kultikus sorozatában, a Dark Shadowsban maga játszotta Angelique szerepét. A színésznő a sorozat eredeti forgatókönyvét feldolgozva írta meg az Éjsötét árnyék trilógiát. A történet filmváltozata 2012 májusában kerül a mozikba Tim Burton rendezésében, Johnny Depp, Michelle Pfeiffer és Helena Bonham Carter főszereplésével.
