Our Last Resort A Novel

A USA TODAY BESTSELLER that will keep you up long past your bedtime. From the author of The Quiet Tenant comes a psychological thriller that’s earned spots on most-anticipated lists from The New York Times, USA Today, Oprah Daily, and beyond.

Fifteen years ago, Frida and her brother Gabriel escaped a cult in upstate New York. They thought they’d left that darkness behind. But when a beautiful young woman is found dead at the luxurious Ara Hotel in Utah’s remote desert, Gabriel becomes the prime suspect—and it isn’t the first time he’s been accused of murder.

What begins as a hopeful reunion between siblings at a stunning desert resort quickly unravels into a taut psychological puzzle. As the investigation closes in, Frida must confront buried memories of their cult upbringing and ask herself the most terrifying question of all: How well do we really know the people we love?

“Michallon masterfully weaves past cult abuse into a taut present-day procedural, blending psychological complexity with enough terror to make you white-knuckle your beach chair,” raves Oprah Daily. #1 New York Times bestselling author Lisa Jewell calls Michallon “one of the most daring, exciting new voices in psychological suspense.”

With alternating timelines that build to a shattering climax, Our Last Resort is the kind of multi-layered suspense novel that lingers long after the final page. Perfect for fans of atmospheric thrillers that dig deep into family secrets and the lies we tell ourselves.
