The island was abandoned for fifty years.
So how did the body get there?
Five-hundred kilometres from land in the middle of Atlantic Ocean lies Navigaceo, a tiny island hastily deserted fifty years ago and uninhabited ever since. Until now.
Tess Macfarlane is part of the very first return expedition and, as a documentary filmmaker, her job is to record everything she sees. Whatever Tess is expecting to find, it is not a body. Recently killed and wearing the uniform of the expedition team.
It soon becomes clear that someone on Tess’s team is a killer. With five days until she can return to the mainland and no idea who to trust, can Tess avoid becoming the next body discovered on the shore?

A real tour de force. The Last Visitor is a perfect locked room mystery, with believable characters, razor-sharp dialogue and a desolate island setting that proves to be the stuff of nightmares. Martin Griffin has created a tale that grips you from start to finish
Fresh, gripping and addictive! An absolute gem of a crime novel!
Clever and bold . . . Anything you think you know, you don't
Imagine spooky goings on, things going missing and a sense of being watched. You're on the right track
A worthy successor to [Griffin's] great debut, The Second Stranger, last year. Inventive, thrilling and with a fine sense of place, it glistens with menace
If there is a finer crime debut this year, it will be a surprise . . . Stunning
Tense!
A brilliant debut from an excellent new voice in the world of crime fiction
PRAISE FOR THE SECOND STRANGER
