THE NUMBER ONE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER

THE COUNTDOWN HAS BEGUN

Abi keeps them safe.

One hundred and twenty-two islanders and their three beloved scientists live in harmony, kept safe from a poisonous security barrier with the help of Abi’s instructions.

Niema keeps the islanders occupied.

Niema is one of the scientists who remembers what life was like before the fog. She ensures that all of the islanders have a job to do, and everyone loves her. Almost everyone.

Emory can’t stop asking questions.

But then one of the scientists is found dead, and their murder triggers the dropping of the security barrier. The only way to reinstate it is to find the killer. But can Emory ask the right questions?

They have 107 hours to solve the murder before the fog sweeps in. Can they stop the end of their world?

Publisher Review

A mind-bending, genre-blending, boy-that-ending mystery unlike any I’ve ever read …I feel, as I read a Turton book, like I’m watching a rocket erupt from the launchpad — I’ve got a grin on my face and my heart in my throat — A. J. Finn Even better than The Seven Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle. Turton’s cemented his reputation as the king of the mind-blowing mystery — Gareth Rubin, author of Sunday Times bestseller, THE TURNGLASS An extraordinary novel. Midsommar meets Station Eleven meets The Mist meets a fresh post-apocalyptic murder mystery. Audacious and utterly mind-blowing. Stu Turton is one of the most inventive writers working today — Will Dean Stuart Turton’s literary pyrotechnics are on full display in this magnificently sly novel. Part Holmesian deduction, part Shyamalan level twists – Turton somehow manages to reinvent both himself and the mystery genre with every book. An absolute blast — Benjamin Stevenson Stuart Turton is the master of intricately plotted, brilliantly imaginative murder mysteries. His latest delivers all that wonderful head-scratching complexity in a darkly-drawn future world with a message about what makes us human at its heart. I loved it — C. J. Tudor Set in a post-apocalyptic world, with a literal village full of incredible characters, this is an original take on the murder mystery and I loved it. Unique, thought-provoking but, above all, addictive — Louise Hare, author of This Lovely City and Miss Aldridge Regrets The Last Murder at the End of the World is wildly inventive. Stuart Turton is a unique talent — M. W. Craven Stu Turton has done it again. I finished The Last Murder at the End of the World last night and it might just be his barmiest, cleverest and creepiest mystery yet. Buckle up, because you’ve never read a whodunnit like this one — Tom Hindle BELIEVE THE HYPE about this book. I absolutely raced through. Such a great sharp little jigsaw of a sci-fi mystery — Alice Bell Stu Turton has done it again with The Last Murder At The End Of The World, the mad, alchemy-embracing bastard. A murder-mystery wrapped in a sci-fi allegory, it’s utterly gripping, constantly confounding and will be another monster hit — Adam Simcox A unique, intricate murder mystery absolutely full of heart, The Last Murder at the End of the World is a heartbreaking exploration of what it means to be human — Vikki Patis PRAISE FOR THE SEVEN DEATHS OF EVELYN HARDCASTLE: ‘Audaciously inventive, gripping and original’ — Louise O’Neill PRAISE FOR THE SEVEN DEATHS OF EVELYN HARDCASTLE: ‘This book blew my mind. It is utterly original and unique. I couldn’t get it out of my head for days afterwards’ — Sophie Hannah PRAISE FOR THE DEVIL AND THE DARK WATER: ‘An absolute treat from the most original voice in crime fiction’ — Ragnar Jonasson
