Globally bestselling Australian crime writer Jane Harper returns with Exiles, the powerful send-off to the reticent and endearing federal policeman Aaron Falk, who readers first met in The Dry. Taking place deep in South Australian wine country after the disappearance of a young mother, it traverses a regional landscape and narrative terrain as rich and immersive as those of her previous stories. She appears on stage with ABC RN’s Sarah L’Estrange (The Book Show) to shed light on the beautifully observed final instalment of her much-loved series.
