      The man lay still in the centre of a dusty grave under a monstrous sky. Two brothers meet at the border of their vast cattle properties under the unrelenting sun of outback Queensland. They are at the stockman's grave, a landmark so old, no one can remember who is buried there. But today, the scant shadow it casts was the last chance for their middle brother, Cameron. The Bright family's quiet existence is thrown into grief and anguish. Something had been troubling Cameron. Did he lose hope and walk to his death? Because if he didn't, the isolation of the outback leaves few suspects... For readers who loved The Dry and Force of Nature , Jane Harper has once again created a powerful story of suspense, set against a dazzling landscape.

      Egy őrült szerelem, amit megrázó csalódás követ. Egy kapcsolat, ami egy életre szól, és még annál is tovább. Bosszú, aminek még a halál sem állhatja útját. Barnabas Collinst, a New England-i hajómágnás család ifjú örökösét megbabonázza Angelique, a Martinique szigetéről érkező szolgáló egzotikus szépsége. Arra azonban, hogy a lány milyen sötét hatalmak szövetségese, csak akkor jön rá, amikor már késő: eljegyez valaki mást, Angelique pedig olyan bosszút esküszik ellene, ami a síron túl is üldözni fogja. Lara Parker a hetvenes évek kultikus sorozatában, a Dark Shadowsban maga játszotta Angelique szerepét. A színésznő a sorozat eredeti forgatókönyvét feldolgozva írta meg az Éjsötét árnyék trilógiát. A történet filmváltozata 2012 májusában kerül a mozikba Tim Burton rendezésében, Johnny Depp, Michelle Pfeiffer és Helena Bonham Carter főszereplésével.
