A small town hides big secrets in The
Dry, an atmospheric debut mystery by award-winning author Jane Harper.
After getting a note demanding his presence, Federal
Agent Aaron Falk arrives in his hometown for the first time in decades to
attend the funeral of his best friend, Luke. Twenty years ago
when Falk was accused of murder, Luke was his alibi. Falk and his father fled
under a cloud of suspicion, saved from prosecution only because of Luke’s steadfast
claim that the boys had been together at the time of the crime. But now more
than one person knows they didn’t tell the
truth back then, and Luke is dead.
Amid the worst drought in a century, Falk and the
local detective question what really happened to Luke. As Falk reluctantly
investigates to see if there’s more to Luke’s death than
there seems to be, long-buried mysteries resurface, as do the lies that have
haunted them. And Falk will find that small towns have always hidden
big secrets.
