The title of Jane Harper’s new book is Last One Out, a mystery set in the dying town of Carralon Ridge.

Sam Crowley vanished five years ago on his 21st birthday. The mystery of what happened that day sent tremors through the local community, casting suspicion on its residents and breaking apart his family.

Now, on the anniversary of his disappearance, his mother Ro has returned for a memorial to remember her son. What she finds is a ghost town whose local residents have been forced out by the nearby coal mine that keeps expanding. But the pain of seeing her devastated former home is nothing compared to the torment of never finding out what happened to her son.

As Ro revisits Sam’s notes that he left behind – a map of unanswered questions and suspicions – she begins to peel back the layers of a town that guards its secrets fiercely. Someone knows what happened to Sam, and it’s time for the truth to come out …

last One Out will be published on 14 October 2025.
