Cornerstone has acquired a high-concept debut by Andrew Hunter Murray, a writer on BBC's QI and part of the team of writers at Private Eye, in a 24-hour pre-empt. The novel, titled The Last Day, is set 40 years into the future after the planet's rotation has slowed to a halt, resulting in half the earth facing the constant light of the sun while the other half lives in an endless, frozen night.
