Eleven years after the murder of Alaska Sanders, Marcus Goldman, celebrity author and amateur sleuth, picks up a thread that unravels not only this âopen-and-shutâ case but the very fabric of his best friend, Sergeant Perry Gahalowoodâs life, who led the original investigation. - HARPERCOLL
A Wall Street Journal "Best Mystery of 2024"
âIf The Truth About the Harry Quebert Affair read like Gatsby by way of David Lynch, then The Alaska Sanders Affair recalls True Detective: there's something both classic and daring about it. One of the world's most original voices in crime fiction.â âA. J. Finn, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Woman in the Window and End of Story
âThe Alaska Sanders Affair ... transcends pigeonholing with its abundance of plot, subplots and melodramatic U-turns ... everything seems to be connected ... [and] Mr. Dicker casts an undeniable spell.â âWall Street Journal
The thrilling new whodunit from Joël Dicker, master of the plot twist and the author of The Truth about the Harry Quebert Affair and The Enigma of Room 622.
April 1999. The body of Alaska Sanders is found on the shore of a lake near the quiet town of Mount Pleasant, New Hampshire. The young womanâs death rocks the small community, but the murder is quickly solved. Within days, a suspect is identified and soon convicted. Case closed. Or so it seemed. . . .
Eleven years later, Marcus Goldman, celebrity author and amateur sleuth, picks up a thread that will unravel not only the âopen and shutâ case of Alaska Sanders, but the very fabric of his best friend,âSergeant Perry Gahalowoodââs life. Gahalowood, who led the original Alaska Sanders investigation, is hell-bent on finding the truth and setting the record straight. Teaming up with Marcus, he hopes to find redemption by solving the most intricate and trying case of his career.
Set both before and after the events of his phenomenal worldwide bestseller The Truth about the Harry Quebert Affair, Dickerâs latest delivers the last word in slow-burn police procedurals. Clue by clue, witness by witness, question by question, his characters painstakingly piece together an unguessable puzzle that could only have been set by this acclaimed master of the plot twist. And as they uncover who Alaska Sanders truly was, other ghosts from the past emerge . . .
Translated from the French by Robert Bononno
