**
Five women go on a hike. Only four return. Jane Harper, the New York
Times bestselling author of The Dry, asks: How well do you really
know the people you work with?**
When five colleagues are forced to go on a corporate retreat in the
wilderness, they reluctantly pick up their backpacks and start walking
down the muddy path.
But one of the women doesn't come out of the woods. And each of her
companions tells a slightly different story about what happened.
Federal Police Agent Aaron Falk has a keen interest in the whereabouts
of the missing hiker. In an investigation that takes him deep into
isolated forest, Falk discovers secrets lurking in the mountains, and a
tangled web of personal and professional friendship, suspicion, and
betrayal among the hikers. But did that lead to murder?
"Force of Nature bristles with wit; it crackles with suspense; it
radiates atmosphere. An astonishing book from an astonishing
writer."
--A.J. Finn, author of The Woman in the Window
