"Harperās fine prose and narrator Stephen Shanahanās expert delivery combine for a transcendent Australian noir experience." āAudioFile on The Dry (Earphones Award Winner)
Federal Investigator Aaron Falk is on his way to a small town deep in Southern Australian wine country for the christening of an old friend's baby. But mystery follows him, even on vacation.
This weekend marks the one-year anniversary of Kim Gillespie's disappearance. One year ago, at a busy town festival on a warm spring night, Kim safely tucked her sleeping baby into her stroller, then vanished into the crowd. No one has seen her since. When Kim's older daughter makes a plea for anyone with information about her missing mom to come forward, Falk and his old buddy Raco can't leave the case alone.
As Falk soaks up life in the lush valley, he is welcomed into the tight-knit circle of Kimās friends and loved ones. But the group may be more fractured than it seems. Between Falkās closest friend, the missing mother, and a woman heās drawn to, dark questions linger as long-ago truths begin to emerge. What would make a mother abandon her child? What happened to Kim Gillespie?
A Macmillan Audio production from Flatiron Books.

āBooklist, starred review
āWith this book, Harper may well have given her legions of readers exactly what they have been waiting for: a beautifully observed crime novel about regional life featuring the reticent and endearing federal policeman, Aaron Falk...Quietly and inevitably, the secrets and deceptions are unraveled as Falk finds himself deftly woven into the weft of this small community. In Exiles, Falk may at last have come home.ā
āSydney Morning Herald

āPublishers Weekly, starred review
āAn outstanding crime novel, rich in mystery and atmosphere and full of heart. Utterly immersive, captivating and beautifully written; I lost myself completely within its pages and was bereft when it ended. Jane Harper is a rare jewel of an author and Exiles deserves to be huge. It blew me away. It's my book of the year so far.ā

āAnn Cleeves, New York Times bestselling author
āA truly wonderful read. Rich in detail, landscape and character and deeply satisfying on all levels.ā
āSarah Hilary, award-winning author
āThe kind of crime novel you move into rather than just reading it - a wholly absorbing set of mysteries, a cast of characters that feels entirely real and a setting so vivid you can practically smell the breeze through the bushland. Aaron Falk is the still center of the novel, a quiet presence like no other in crime fiction. Exceptional in every way.ā
āJane Casey, author of the Maeve Kerrigan novels
