Told with heart and guts and an authentic sense of place that simply cannot be faked, The Dry is the debut of the year. This book has it all." -John Lescroart, New York Times bestselling author of The Fall "It's extremely rare and exciting to read a debut that enthralls from the very first page and then absolutely sticks the landing. Terrific characters, unique and evocative setting, knockout plot construction. If this book doesn't garner an Edgar (Best First Novel) or two (Best Novel), there is no justice. Recommend this one to fans of James Lee Burke and Robert Crais, who mix elements of "bromance" into their hard-boiled tales."- Booklist, starred review" With The Dry, Jane Harper immediately takes her place among the elites in the mystery world.

Twenty years ago when Falk was accused of murder, Luke was his alibi.
