On a seemingly idyllic island surrounded by the poisonous fog that wiped out the rest of the world, an isolated group of villagers must solve a murder which no one can remember to keep the fog from engulfing them all.

The small group of villagers who live on the tiny island lead simple, but happy lives. There is no world beyond their shores, but they're content with what they have. Only Emory feels frustrated. Unlike everyone else on the island she doesn't yet seem to have a purpose. All she seems to be good at is asking questions.

But then one of the scientists who guides the villagers is found murdered and as there has never been a crime before, there is no detective to call on. There is only Emory and her gift for asking questions. So now Emory must explore every inch of her island – from the cliffs to the jungles, from sandy beaches to the very top of the mountain – to find clues that apparently don't exist.

How can she solve a mystery on an island where no one lies but there's still no way to find the culprit?

A dazzlingly original murder mystery from the author of the bestselling The Seven Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle.
