Bratia Nathan a Bub Brightovci hospodária ako rančeri v juhozápadnej časti austrálskeho Queenslandu, kde sa od horizontu po horizont rozprestiera pustatina, buš, kamenné a piesočné púšte. Kam oko dovidí, všade vládne horúčava, sucho a samota. Ak tu chcete stretnúť suseda, musíte rátať s tým, že sa celé hodiny budete trmácať po niektorej z mála piesčitých ciest, ktoré tadiaľto vedú. Niekedy prejdú mesiace, kým zazriete jediné terénne auto.Jedného dňa sa bratia stretnú na odľahlom mieste pri plote oddeľujúcom ich hospodárstva s dobytkom. Tretí brat Cameron bol nezvestný a teraz im leží mŕtvy pri nohách. Podľa všetkého tu opustený umrel od smädu a neznesiteľnej horúčavy. V izolovanom austrálskom vnútrozemí sú bratia najbližšími susedmi, ich domy sú od seba vzdialené tri hodiny cesty autom. Nathan a Bub sa vracajú na Cameronov statok, aby sa stretli s jeho pozostalými - manželkou, dcérami, matkou a s ich dlhoročným zamestnancom a dvomi nedávno najatými sezónnymi robotníkmi.Zatiaľ čo rodina oplakáva Camerona, začínajú sa vynárať podozrenia. Ak za Cameronovou smrťou stojí niekto iný, opustené vnútrozemie veľa podozrivých neponúka. Napätie nepoľavuje, postupne vychádzajú na povrch vnútorné konflikty postáv. Príbeh ilustrujú úžasné opisy austrálskej prírody a všetko spolu vedie nielen k šokujúcemu rozlúšteniu záhady mysterióznej smrti Camerona Brighta, ale otvára aj nové cesty a perspektívy pre zvyšok rodiny.Stratený muž je silný, drsný a sugestívny príbeh, odohrávajúci sa na pozadí impozantnej, no neľútostnej austrálskej scenérie. Jane Harperová opäť potvrdzuje, že je jednou z najlepších austrálskych spisovateliek súčasnosti. (knihydobrovsky.cz)

Audiokniha:,Rozpraskaná půda odhalí i dávno pohřbená tajemství… Australský policista Aaron Falk z melbournského oddělení hospodářské kriminality se po dvaceti letech vrací do městečka Kiewarra sužovaného děsivým suchem. Do rodného venkovského kraje ho však nepřivedla pohroma, kvůli níž krachují podniky i farmy – přijel na pohřeb nejlepšího přítele Lukea, který údajně zavraždil manželku i syna a poté spáchal sebevraždu. Falkovi to nedává smysl, a tak spolu s náčelníkem místní policie přistupuje k neoficiálnímu vyšetřování, proti němuž se záhy postaví téměř všichni místní. Vždyť kromě toho, že hrůzný čin postrádá logiku, je tu i řada dalších nesrovnalostí, prapodivných okolností a především: nové rány otevřely ty staré. S Lukem měli od puberty jedno tajemství, jenže to rozhodně nemělo vyplout na povrch… Detektivní román z australské buše získal mimo jiné výroční britskou cenu za nejlepší krimi, francouzskou Prix Cognac, cenu deníku The Sunday Times i čtyři prémie v debutantských soutěžích.

Od autorky bestselleru Sucho ––– Miluju příběhy Jane Harperové zasazené do Austrálie… a kniha Přeživší je zatím to nejlepší, co napsala. Obzvlášť u scén z jeskyní úplně tuhne krev v žilách.— Stephen King, spisovatel Harperová jako vždy umně vykresluje prostředí a splétá komplikovanou, propracovanou síť plnou dávno pohřbených tajemství, která se chystají vyjít na světlo.— The New York Times Další napínavý thriller v osvědčeném stylu Jane Harperové proniká do psychiky hlavního hrdiny Kierana Elliotta a obyvatel městečka, odhaluje jejich temná tajemství, skryté viny a doutnající napětí.— Herald Sun (knihydobrovsky.cz)

eBook: Odlehlý australský venkov odkrývá svá dávná tajemství. Australské městečko Kiewarra sužuje dlouhodobé sucho, které si vybírá daň nejen na přírodě a dobytku, ale i na psychice místních obyvatel. Na jedné z farem najdou mrtvou ženu a jejího syna. O kus dál stojí auto otce rodiny Luka Hadlera, ten pravděpodobně manželku i dítě zastřelil a pak spáchal sebevraždu. Na pohřeb přijíždí Lukův dávný kamarád, federální policista Aaron Falk, který v městečku prožil dětství. Vrací se nerad, počítá hodiny, kdy bude moct zase odjet. Od začátku je zřejmé, že tady není vítán. Na naléhání Hadlerových Falk spolu s místním policistou Racem znovu neformálně otevřou vyšetřování zdánlivě jasného případu. Postupně vycházejí najevo různé maličkosti, které nahlodávají zprvu nezpochybnitelnou verzi o dvojnásobné vraždě a následné sebevraždě. Jak Falk proniká do okolností úmrtí, otevírají se staré rány a vznikají nové. Aaron a Luke totiž měli tajemství. Tajemství, o němž si Falk myslel, že je dávno pohřbené, ale po Lukově smrti opět vyplouvá na povrch… ----- Příběh je vyprávěn srdcem, s kuráží a smyslem pro věrohodné vylíčení atmosféry, což jednoduše nelze zfalšovat.

Proč se ze tří bratrů vrhne do náruče smrti ten, který má vše, co si jen může přát? Nathan, nejstarší z bratrů Brightových, dobře ví, jak tvrdý je život v nekonečném australském vnitrozemí. Osamělost tam znamená smrt. Nejbližší sousedé mohou být hodiny cesty daleko a před spalujícím žárem není úniku. Ví to, protože po rozvodu a neshodách s příbuznými opustil rodinnou farmu a protlouká se životem sám — na rozdíl od svého bratra Camerona. Ten úspěšně vede rodinný ranč, má milující manželku, dvě rozkošné dcerky a obdiv nejmladšího bratra Bennyho. Proto Nathan nedokáže uvěřit zprávě, že Cameronovo tělo bylo nalezeno u osamělého náhrobního kamene v pustině, a navíc se zdá, že se vydal vstříc smrti dobrovolně. Po dlouhé době se tedy Nathan vydává zpět na rodinnou farmu, aby uctil bratrovu památku. Jenže brzy ho začnou přepadat pochybnosti a nezbývá mu než se ponořit do minulosti a prozkoumat stará rodinná tajemství i křivdy, které by bylo lepší nechat spát. (knihydobrovsky.cz)

Psaní Vyhnanců jsem si užila a doufám, že se čtenářům bude román líbit.— Jane Harperová o knize Vyhnanci Falkovo vyšetřování je jako vždy vynikající, ale kniha je nezapomenutelná především díky autorčině schopnosti proniknout do osobních tajemství postav.— The New York Times Aaron Falk je tichým středobodem románu, jenž nemá v žánru krimi obdoby.

eBook:,Pět žen neochotně popadne krosny a vyrazí po rozbahněné cestě vpřed. Vrátí se však jen čtyři. Pro kolegyně z kanceláře to měl být výlet, který je vymaní z klimatizované komfortní zóny a povzbudí v nich houževnatost a týmového ducha. Jedna z nich se ale z pochodu australskou buší nevrátí a každá ze zbylých žen popisuje proběhlé události trochu jinak. Agent federální policie Aaron Falk se snaží zjistit, co se s Alicí Russellovou stalo. Pohřešovaná totiž o svém zaměstnavateli i spolupracovnících ledacos ví. Její kolegyně Falkovi vyprávějí o dnech prožitých na cestě — o strachu, násilí a ztracené důvěře. Vyšetřování zavede agenta hluboko do odlehlého lesa. V horách na něj čeká odhalení tajemství, spletitá síť osobních i pracovních vztahů a také zrada. Došlo ale k vraždě? Jak dobře známe lidi, se kterými trávíme v práci tolik času? ----- V Síle přírody najdeme ozvěny Pikniku na Hanging Rock i Pána much — zejména v momentech, kdy veškeré projevy slušného chování mizejí a ženy se ztratí v nepřátelské krajině. - The Saturday Paper Ještě působivější než Sucho… Téměř nesnesitelné napětí. Příroda je v obou románech Jane Harperové nepřátelská a nepředvídatelná, autorčina talent však spočívá ve schopnosti přetvořit ji ve zkoušku lidské přirozenosti, jež je hrozivě omylná. - The Sunday Times (knihydobrovsky.cz)

The Story of the Lost Child is the concluding volume in the dazzling saga of two women- the brilliant, bookish Elena, and the fiery, uncontainable Lila. Both are now adults, with husbands, lovers, aging parents, and children. Their friendship has been the gravitational center of their lives. Both women fought to escape the neighborhood in which they grew up-a prison of conformity, violence, and inviolable taboos. Elena married, moved to Florence, started a family, and published several well-received books.

She has become a successful entrepreneur, but her success draws her into closer proximity with the nepotism, chauvinism, and criminal violence that infect the neighborhood. Proximity to the world she has always rejected only brings her role as its unacknowledged leader into relief. For Lila is unstoppable, unmanageable, unforgettable.The four volumes in this series constitute a long remarkable story that readers will return to again and again, and each return will bring with it new revelations.
