Last Murder at the End of the World (Deluxe Edition)

Solve the murder. Save the world. You have 107 hours.

Outside the island, there is nothing.

A deadly fog swept across the planet, killing everyone it touched. Only a small island remains protected from the destruction, home to 122 villagers and three scientists living together in seemingly peaceful isolation.

Until one of the scientists is murdered.

Her death triggers the failure of the security system protecting the island from the deadly fog. Unless the villagers can solve the murder within 107 hours, the barrier will fall—and the last surviving community on Earth will disappear with it.

There's just one enormous problem.

Everyone's memories of the night of the murder have been erased.

Someone on the island is the killer.

They just don't know it.

With time running out and the fog drawing closer, the islanders must uncover buried secrets, question everything they believe about their community, and solve an impossible murder before humanity runs out of time.

Inventive, atmospheric, and packed with twists, The Last Murder at the End of the World combines a locked-room-style murder mystery with dystopian science fiction, psychological suspense, and a race-against-the-clock thriller.

Perfect for readers who love: locked-room mysteries, psychological thrillers, dystopian fiction, isolated settings, memory loss, impossible murders, unreliable memories, high-concept mysteries, post-apocalyptic worlds, and shocking twists.
