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 that was hastily abandoned fifty years ago and has been uninhabited ever since.
Until now. Tess Macfarlane is a documentary filmmaker tasked with capturing the wild beauty of Navigaceo. Accompanied by a small team of researchers, her job is to film everything she sees.
But Tess sees too much: a body. It’s clearly recent. It shouldn’t be there. And the victim is wearing the same expedition uniform as her colleagues.
Someone has been here already and everyone on the team is a suspect. More than one of them could be a murderer. With five days until they are returned to the mainland, Tess must be careful, or hers might be the next body found on the shore . . .

Clever and bold . . . Anything you think you know, you don't
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
A brilliant debut from an excellent new voice in the world of crime fiction
If there is a finer crime debut this year, it will be a surprise . . . Stunning
Tense!
PRAISE FOR THE SECOND STRANGER
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
Imagine spooky goings on, things going missing and a sense of being watched. You're on the right track
Fresh, gripping and addictive! An absolute gem of a crime novel!
