Giralene Range, the original Australian bush. Five women went on a campaign. Four returned. What could have happened in four short days? Jane Harper, author of the bestseller "Drought", convincingly proves: anything. Cold and rain, impenetrable thickets and poisonous snakes, hunger and fatigue, and these mountains have a bad reputation: twenty years ago, lone tourists were attacked by a cruel maniac. Federal agent Aaron Fock is forced to take up the case, because he had a professional interest in the missing woman: pulling on this thread, he hoped to unravel the tangle of financial crimes. Only when he found himself in the far wilderness and unearthed a web of ancient and recent mysteries, he himself began to doubt whether the impenetrable bush would reveal its secrets, because here, like nowhere else, the primordial force of nature comes to life.
