Summary

"For fans of Jane Harper's The Dry or Gillian Flynn's Sharp Objects, a searing debut crime novel set in the Australian outback, where the grief and guilt surrounding an unsolved disappearance still haunt a small farming community...and will ultimately lead to a reckoning"--

The tiny town of Nannine lies in the harsh red interior of Australia: a stoplight, a couple of bars, and a police station. And one sinister claim to fame: the still unsolved disappearance of young Evelyn McCreery nineteen years ago. Her sister Minda is not a reclusive adult, alone on her family's former sheep farm. Lane Holland is a private investigator obsessed with the search. The private tragedy has become public property-- and it's never too late for the truth to come out. -- adapted from jacket
