He had been here, that was clear from the marks in the dust. And he had been alone.
In a dying town, Ro Crowley waits for her son on the evening of his twenty-first birthday.
Sam never comes home. His footprints in the dust of three abandoned houses offer the only clue to his final movements. One set in. One set out.
Five long years later, Ro returns to Carralon Ridge for the annual memorial of Sam’s disappearance. The skeletal community is now an echo of itself, having fractured under the pressure of the coal mine operating on its outskirts.
But Ro still wants answers. Only a few people remain. If the truth is to be found in that town, does it lie among them?
Last One Out is a hugely atmospheric mystery from the author of The Dry, Force of Nature, The Lost Man,The Survivors and Exiles.
This is a slow-burn of a novel, claustrophobic and compelling. It's a wonderful exploration of fractured families and communities, and the conclusion is both shocking and inevitable. A book to get lost in -- Ann Cleeves, bestselling author of The Killing Stones
An exceptional book. The sense of place is very powerful and her characterization is utterly brilliant . . . I could not put it down -- Marian Keyes, bestselling author of My Favorite Mistake
This intricate story of a dying town and its residents is beautifully written and incredibly atmospheric. Heartbreaking and wonderful. -- Andrea Mara, No. 1 bestselling author of No One Saw a Thing

I love Jane Harper's Australia-based mysteries -- Stephen King
An avalanche of suspense -- David Baldacci
