What if today was your last day…
A bomb has exploded during a fashion show, killing a beautiful model on the catwalk. The murderer is still at large… and he may strike again. Yet this is the least of Police Commissioner Christian Verger’s worries. His fiancée Viola has left him. He has to keep his tumultuous past a secret. To make things worse, his voice assistant Alexa is 99.74% sure he will die tomorrow.
Moving from snowy 1980s Montana to chic 1990s Manhattan to a drone-filled 2030s Britain, FUTURE PERFECT is an electrifying race to solve a murder before it’s too late. Yet it is also a love story, a riveting portrait of a couple torn apart by secrets, grief and guilt. A twisted tale of how the past can haunt a person’s future and be used to predict if he will die… or kill.

An inventive and ingenious vision of things to come. From the explosive opening chapter to the surprise ending, Felicia Yap creates a troubling, all too plausible world. A thought-provoking, immersive novel packed with engaging characters.
[Future Perfect] is a high concept crime novel that speaks directly to the world unfolding around us . . . With a knowing nod to Minority Report, Yap delivers a twisty techno-thriller with a human heart.
A thought-provoking, twisty and emotional thriller that had me gripped from the first page.
Such a wonderful novel - beautifully written, incredibly tense, twists that I didn't see coming (and I pride myself on twist-spotting!) and frighteningly believable.
A touching, mesmerizing read ... really well plotted to derive the maximum tension and keeps you hooked right to the unexpected ending.
