Waterstones Says

A box arrives on every doorstep across the world holding the number of years the residents have left to live in this stunningly clever, addictively paced and thought-provoking debut mystery.

Your fate arrives in a box on your doorstep. Do you open it?

It seems like just another morning. You make a cup of tea. Check the news. Open the front door. On your doorstep is a box. Inside the box is the exact number of years you have left to live. The same box appears on every doorstep across the world. Do you open yours?

The Measure. It's the decision of a lifetime.
