Bright Air

(2008)
A novel by

 
 
She stood panting on the narrow ledge, pressing herself back against the hard surface of the rock, and heard a voice, far below, calling her name. She tried to answer, but her throat was parched and no sound came. They had heard the stone, clattering down the cliff to the sea, and now they knew where she was...

Secrets, lies and a deathbed confession lead to a deadly, dangerous trail. On a cliff-face in New Zealand, two men fall to their deaths. Four years before, another member of the same close group of university climbing friends, the bright and beautiful Luce, disappeared - supposedly in a climbing accident. As the circle of friends dwindles, two of the surviving members of the group, Luce's ex-lover Josh and best friend Anna, see a new significance in her death. In an attempt to uncover the truth, Josh and Anna follow the trail to Lord Howe Island, where they begin to suspect an island-wide conspiracy to hide what really happened. Had Luce uncovered a dangerous secret - one that was still worth killing for?

A nail-biting, fast-paced page-turner, Bright Air is the compelling new mystery from the master of crime writing, Barry Maitland.
