The Lost Man
BY JANE HARPER
love the way British-born Jane Harper writes about the Australian outback: so bleak and implacable that it becomes a character in its own right. I’ve read two of her three novels and found both compelling – this one particularly. Two almost estranged brothers, Nathan and Bub, meet over the body of the third, Cameron. It looks like Cameron has wilfully left his vehicle, fully stocked with water, food and medical supplies, to die of thirst and exposure in the scorching outback heat. But has he? And if so, why? And if not, who?
