A genre-smashing, bestselling and award-winning novelist, Stuart Turton is widely hailed for his speculative tales of mystery, imagination and human complexity.
The Last Murder at the End of the World, one of 11 Prometheus Best Novel nominees from 2024 and the first work by Turton recognized by our awards, offers the satisfactions of several types of works in one strange but compelling hybrid.
It’s an ingenious murder mystery, an imaginative work of science fiction/fantasy, a suspenseful story of survival, a cautionary dystopian tale, a haunting memory piece and a gripping drama.
