About the book

We see what we expect to see. At a busy community festival on a warm spring night, a baby lies alone in her pram, her mother having vanished into the crowds. A year later, Kim Gillespie's absence casts a long shadow as her friends and loved ones gather in the heart of South Australian wine country to welcome a new addition to the family. Federal investigator Aaron Falk is joining the celebrations. But as he soaks up life in the lush valley, he begins to suspect this tight-knit group may be more fractured than it seems. Exiles is a propulsive and thrilling page-turner filled with mystery, lush storytelling and dark undertones. Jane Harper writes with nuance and skill about grief, secrets, family and what it means to be haunted by things left unsaid.
