The Last
The Last by Hanna Jameson explores a chilling post-apocalyptic scenario where the world has ended, leaving only twenty survivors in a remote hotel. Among them lurks a dangerous secret.
The world has ended.
Twenty survivors remain in a hotel.
One of them is a killer.
A nuclear weapon has detonated over Washington, marking the collapse of civilisation. Historian Jon Keller finds himself on a trip to Switzerland when this catastrophe strikes. As darkness falls over humanity, he yearns desperately for news of his loved onesβhis wife, Nadia, and their two daughters. The regret of ignoring Nadia's last message haunts him.
Stranded in the hotel, these twenty people, isolated by dense forests and miles from the nearest city, must navigate their new reality as resources dwindle and tensions rise.
The discovery of a young girl's body changes everything. Her murder brings the chilling realisation that a killer is among them. As paranoia spreads, Jon takes it upon himself to uncover the truth.
But as he delves deeper into this dark mystery, questions arise: How far is Jon willing to go in his pursuit of justice? What kind of justice can be achieved in a world where societal rules no longer apply?
