"One of the most stunning debuts I've ever read" - David Baldacci
David Baldacci is one of my favourite authors so when I read his comment on the cover of this debut crime novel from Melbourne-based Jane Harper I simply had to read it. I was not disappointed and I am sure we are going to hear a lot more about her.
Stunning, wonderfully crafted, and so suspenseful I could hardly bear to put it down. Be warned, you need a glass of water at hand as you read.
About the author:
Jane Harper has worked as a print journalist for thirteen years in both Australia & the UK. This, her first novel won her the Victorian Premier's Literary Award an Unpublished Manuscript. I am sure it will win more awards now that it is in published form.
Publication 1 June - Pan Macmillan - $37.99
