Jasper Cliff

Shortlisted for the Fogarty Literary Award, Jasper Cliff is an outback gothic thriller set in a small town where people have a habit of disappearing.

When Toby Bowman vanishes, his little brother Lachlan retraces a road trip to the last place Toby phoned from — a remote northern town called Jasper Cliff. There, Lachlan finds himself marooned at the dying town's pub, and soon learns that his brother is just one of many to have gone missing in recent years.

Like Toby, his brother becomes obsessed with finding the Rift, a deep hole in a ravine somewhere in the hills. But what will Lachlan learn, and what will he see, if he stares into the Rift too?
