Journalist-turned-author Jane Harper's first novel The Dry was published in 2016 and quickly snapped up and turned into a movie starring Eric Bana. Her second novel Force of Nature, a sequel to The Dry, is also set to get the big screen treatment with filming recently completed in regional Victoria. Jane followed up with two more novels, The Lost Man and The Survivors.
Her fifth novel, Exiles, has just been released... this time her detective Aaron Falk is in South Australian wine country investigating the disappearance of a mother whose 6-week-old baby is left behind at a pram at a festival.
Jane joins Kathryn to talk about how her signature settings have helped to kickstart a whole genre of Australian back-country crime. If you're keen to hear more from Jane - and you live in Auckland - she'll be doing an event at the Takapuna Library tonight.
