FROM NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLING AND AWARD-WINNING AUTHOR JANE HARPER COMES EXILES, A CAPTIVATING MYSTERY ABOUT A MISSING MOTHER
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 Kim´s friends and loved ones. But the group may be more fractured than it seems. Between Falk´s closest friend, the missing mother, and a woman he´s 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?
