The Last Murder at the End of the World

Ninety years after a deadly fog erased almost all of humanity, the last survivors—122 villagers and three brilliant scientists—live on a small, idyllic Greek island held safe behind a barrier only the scientists understand. Then one of the scientists is murdered hours after promising to reveal the island's secrets, and the barrier begins to fail. Worse, the island's system has wiped everyone's memory of the night she died, making every islander an unwitting suspect.

With the fog closing in and roughly ninety hours on the clock, an islander named Emory must solve a murder no one remembers committing before the last refuge on Earth is swallowed. Stuart Turton's The Last Murder at the End of the World fuses a locked-island whodunit with post-apocalyptic science fiction and a mystery about the true nature of the island itself.
