A powerful dystopian vision of a world where money reigns supreme, from a World Fantasy Award-winning author.

"An extraordinary novel that stands with the best of dystopian fiction, with dashes of The Handmaid's Tale." -- -Cory Doctorow

The penalty for Dani Cumali's murder: $84,000.

Theo works in the Criminal Audit Office. He assesses each crime that crosses his desk and makes sure the correct debt to society is paid in full.

These days, there's no need to go to prison -- provided that you can afford to pay the penalty for the crime you've committed. If you're rich enough, you can get away with murder.

But Dani's murder is different. When Theo finds her lifeless body, and a hired killer standing over her and calmly calling the police to confess, he can't let her death become just an entry on a balance sheet.

Someone is responsible. And Theo is going to find them and make them pay.

Perfect for fans of 1984 and Never Let Me Go, Claire North's moving and unnerving new novel will resonate with readers around the world.

Industry Reviews

"North is [a] consistently intriguing writer."--Locus on The End of the Day "Wholly original and hauntingly beautiful. North is a writer to watch."--Kirkus on The End of the Day "A subtle study of friendship, love and the complexity of existence."--Eric Brown, Guardian on The First Fifteen Lives of Harry August "Wonderful novel...held together by a compelling mystery involving nothing less than the end of the world itself. Beautifully written and structured...a remarkable book."--Booklist (starred review) on The First Fifteen Lives of Harry August "Claire North is a true original, a master of ingenious plotting and feats of imagination." --Alex Marwood, author of The Wicked Girls, on The Sudden Appearance of Hope "Claire North's writing is terrific, smart, and entertaining."--Patrick Ness on The First Fifteen Lives of Harry August "Vivid and disturbing."--Publishers Weekly "Evocative, thought-provoking... I'll read anything she writes."--Omnivoracious "A terrifying setting that feels rooted to the present day.... Imbued with a menace that feels both recognizable and urgent, and the decisions the characters make as a result feel uncomfortably real."--RT Book Reviews "An extraordinary novel that stands with the best of dystopian fiction, from Riddley Walker to Nineteen Eighty-Four to The Chrysalids, with dashes of The Handmaid's Tale."--Cory Doctorow
