Ny roman av författaren till succéthrillern De sju morden på Evelyn Hardcastle»Djupt originell & uppslukande.« The Guardian»Omtumlande. En fantastisk bok.« Will DeanEn apokalyptisk dimma har svept fram över planeten och utplånat allt i sin väg. Allt utom en idyllisk liten ö, där etthundratjugotvå bybor och tre forskare lever i fridfull harmoni. Byborna nöjer sig med att fiska, odla och festa, de följer det nattliga utegångsförbudet och gör vad forskarna säger åt dem att göra. De allra flesta har funnit sig väl till rätta på ön.När en av samhällets forskare och ledare, Niema, hittas brutalt knivmördad slås den trygga tillvaron i spillror - särskilt som mordet samtidigt har triggat en nedstängning av det säkerhetssystem som omsluter ön och är det enda som håller dimman tillbaka. Inte nog med det: Systemet har även raderat allas minnen av mordkvällen, vilket innebär att någon på ön är en mördare utan att själv veta om det. Det enda sättet att återaktivera säkerhetssystemet är att hitta Niemas mördare. I detta livsavgörande uppdrag hittar bybon Emory, som dittills haft svårt att finna sin plats i gemenskapen på ön, till slut en möjlighet att tjäna byn med sina särskilda förmågor. Men hon har oddsen emot sig: Om mordet inte blir uppklarat inom 107 timmar kommer dimman att förinta ön och alla dess invånare.I översättning av Ragnar Strömberg.STUART TURTON är en brittisk författare och journalist. Hans två första romaner, De sju morden på Evelyn Hardcastle och Djävulen och det mörka vattnet, hyllades av kritikerna. Hans böcker har blivit internationella bästsäljare med över 1 miljon sålda exemplar världen över och har översatts till 37 språk. Det sista mordet vid världens ände är Stuart Turtons efterlängtade nya bok.»Förbluffande originell kriminalroman. Stuart Turton är en unik talang.« M. W. Craven

Can you join together with a very unlikely amateur detective to solve the Last Murder at the End of the World?The small group of villagers who live on the tiny island lead simple, but happy lives. There is no world beyond their shores, but they’re content with what they have. Only Emory feels frustrated. Unlike everyone else on the island she doesn’t yet seem to have a purpose. All she seems to be good at is asking questions.But then one of the scientists who guides the villagers is found murdered and as there has never been a crime before, there is no detective to call on. There is only Emory and her gift for asking questions. So now Emory must explore every inch of her island – from the cliffs to the jungles, from sandy beaches to the very top of the mountain – to find clues that apparently don’t exist. How can she solve a mystery on an island where no one lies but there’s still no way to find the culprit?THE NUMBER ONE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER 'An absolute blast' BENJAMIN STEVENSON'I loved it' C. J.
