Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

The Last One is an unputdownable locked-room thriller about family, trust, and survival from the acclaimed author of the utterly thrilling First Born (praise by Lisa Jewell, #1 New York Times bestselling author).

When Caz steps onboard the exclusive cruise liner RMS Atlantica, it's the start of a vacation of a lifetime with her new love, Pete. On their first night, they explore the ship, eat, dance, and make friends, but when Caz wakes the next morning, Pete is missing.

And when she walks out into the corridor, all the cabin doors are open. To her horror, she soon realises that the ship is completely empty. No passengers, no crewβ€”nobody but her. The Atlantica is steaming into the mid-Atlantic and Caz is the only person on board.

But that's just the beginning of the terrifying journey she finds herself trapped on in this white-knuckled mystery.

About the Author

Will Dean grew up in the East Midlands of the United Kingdom. After studying law at the London School of Economics and working in London, he settled in rural Sweden where he built a wooden house in a vast forest, and it's from this base that he compulsively reads and writes. His debut novel, Dark Pines, was selected for Zoe Ball's book club on ITV, shortlisted for the National Book Award (UK), The Guardian's Not the Booker prize, and was named a Telegraph book of the year. He is also the author of Adrift, The Last One, First Born, The Last Thing to Burn, which was shortlisted for the Theakston Old Peculier Crime Novel of the Year, and The Chamber.
