The Last Thing to Burn by Will Dean

"Immediate, intense, gripping, taut, terrifying, moving, and brilliant." --Lisa Jewell, #1 New York Times bestselling author

"Brilliantly written...terrifying." --Ruth Ware, #1 New York Times bestselling author

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).
Dean, Will: - Will Dean grew up in the East Midlands of the United Kingdom and lived in nine villages before the age of eighteen. 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 boggy clearing at the center 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 on ITV, shortlisted for the National Book Awards (UK), The Guardian's Not The Booker prize, and was named a Telegraph book of the year.
