Five women go on a hike. Only four return.

When a group of colleagues are forced to participate in a team-building exercise in the Giralang Ranges, they reluctantly start walking down the muddy track.

But Alice Russell doesn't appear at the other end. Her last phone call was to Federal Police Agent Aaron Falk.

Alice is the whistleblower in his latest corporate fraud case and as he pursues the investigation, Falk uncovers a tangled web of suspicion and betrayal.

Jane Harper

Jane Harper was born in Manchester in the UK, and moved to Australia with her family at age eight. She spent six years in Boronia, Victoria, and during that time gained Australian citizenship. Returning to the UK with her family as a teenager, she lived in Hampshire before studying English and History at the University of Kent in Canterbury.

On graduating, she completed a journalism entry qualification and got her first reporting job as a trainee on the Darlington & Stockton Times in County Durham. Jane worked for several years as a senior news journalist for the Hull Daily Mail, before moving back to Australia in 2008. She worked first on the Geelong Advertiser, and in 2011 took up a role with the Herald Sun in Melbourne.

In 2014, Jane submitted a short story which was one of 12 chosen for the Big Issue's annual Fiction Edition. That inspired her to pursue creative writing more seriously, and that year she applied for the Curtis Brown Creative online 12-week novel writing course. She was accepted with a submission for the book that would become The Dry. Jane lives in St Kilda with her husband and daughter.

With the news that Jane Harper was planning a follow up to her incredible bestselling debut The Dry came the inevitable speculation as to whether or not she could top it. After ripping through the pages of this one, I am very happy to report that fans of The Dry can rest easy - Jane Harper has delivered another surefire hit with Force of Nature.

This book sees us back in the hot seat with Aaron Falk, The Dry’s dejected hero, as he investigates a work retreat gone horribly wrong - the insider informant in his latest money-laundering investigation has gone missing in dense bushland after a company hiking trip. Thanks to its setting, Force of Nature is a grippingly sinister read. Harper is simply a master at using the physical setting of her novels to create tension, and she never needs to go into detail for her words to raise goosebumps on your skin. Kiewarra, the bone dry tinder box that served as the setting of The Dry, is excellently matched here by the creepy Giralang ranges - made so by a historical serial killer subplot that makes the fictional mountains resemble Belanglo State Forest far too much for my liking.

I’m not usually a big crime fiction reader, but Force of Nature stands a mile apart from the glut of overly graphic pulp that fills the genre. It’s chillingly uncomfortable to read, but the best crime fiction always is. Don’t miss this one!
