"Brilliantly written...terrifying."?Ruth Ware, #1 New York Times bestselling author of One by One
A woman being held captive is willing to risk everything to save herself, her unborn child, and her captor's latest victim in this "intense, dark, and utterly chilling" (Jennifer Hillier, author of Jar of Hearts) thriller in the tradition of Misery and Room.
On an isolated farm in the United Kingdom, a woman is trapped by the monster who kidnapped her seven years ago. When she discovers she is pregnant, she resolves to protect her child, no matter the cost, and starts to meticulously plot her escape. But when another woman is brought into the fold on the farm, her plans go awry. Can she save herself, her child, and this innocent woman at the same time? Or is she doomed to spend the remainder of her life as a captive?
Intense, dark, and utterly gripping The Last Thing to Burn "explores the resilience of the human spirit, even in the face of unfathomable evil. This harrowing journey is one worth taking" (Publishers Weekly).

Notă biografică
Will Dean grew up in the East Midlands and had lived in nine different villages before the age of eighteen. After studying Law at the LSE and working in London, he settled in rural Sweden where he built a house in a boggy clearing at the centre of a vast elk 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, shortlisted for the Guardian Not the Booker prize and named a Daily Telegraph Book of the Year. Red Snow was published in January 2019 and won Best Independent Voice at the Amazon Publishing Readers' Awards, 2019.
Descriere
'Outstanding. The best thriller in years' MARTINA COLE'One of the best thrillers I have read in years' THE OBSERVER'I couldn't put it down. A visceral nightmare of a book with one of the most evil villains I've come across in a long time.
Powerful writing' STEVE CAVANAGH'Short, sharp shocker' THE TIMES'an early contender for one of the best books of the year' S MAGAZINEHe is her husband. She is his captive. Her husband calls her Jane.
That is not her name. She lives in a small farm cottage, surrounded by vast, open fields. Everywhere she looks, there is space.
But she is trapped. No one knows how she got to the UK: no one knows she is there. Visitors rarely come to the farm; if they do, she is never seen.
Her husband records her every movement during the day. If he doesn't like what he sees, she is punished. For a long time, escape seemed impossible.
But now, something has changed. She has a reason to live and a reason to fight. Now, she is watching him, and waiting .
. . 'A true nail-biter' THE GUARDIAN'Ratchets up the tension to the point where I had to check my pulse' LIZ NUGENT'Heart-stoppingly suspenseful, a masterclass in tension' ERIN KELLY'An unbearably tense read, with incredible writing' RAGNAR JONASSON'I could not stop reading this! Brilliantly done' DENISE MINA'Sensational.
Claustrophobic, compulsive, and almost unbearably tense it's a heart-in-mouth read that's packed with suspense. Readers will be saying 'just one more page' all the way from the gripping beginning to the heart-stopping end' C.L. TAYLOR'Seriously nail-biting stuff! I raced through it, my heart in my mouth' EMMA CURTIS'Tremendously powerful and fantastically written, heart-stopping from page one.
Expect to see it on all the award lists' SARAH HILARY
