Dry, an atmospheric, page-turning 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. Read more
