When Cameron Bright is found dead in the desolate Australian outback, no one understands why. His well-stocked vehicle is found in good running order nine kilometers away. Why did he leave it? His family can't explain it, but will admit he hadn't been himself for the last few weeks. His death is ruled a suicide but his older brother, Nathan, isn't so sure. Cam seemed to have everything, why throw it all away? As Nathan reconnects with his family, secrets old and new are brought to light. How well did he really know Cam? Or any of them? After a disappointing sophomoric effort, "Force of Nature", Jane Harper is back with a winner. Like her debut, "The Dry", the stark, gritty landscape of Australia plays a starring role. The heat and the dust are almost palpable as the family struggles to make sense of the death of one of their own, the one who seemed to shine the brightest.
