The sequel / by Korelitz, Jean Hanff,1961-author.;

Now she is living her life, content to enjoy her husband's royalty checks in perpetuity, but literary celebrity continues to beckon, and this time the book in question is her own debut novel, The Afterword. After all, how hard can it really be to write and publish a universally lauded best seller? Then, in the wake of The Afterword's great success, Anna begins to receive anonymous accusations of her very own. Surely there is no one out there who still knows the truth about her colorful life, so who is sending her these excerpts of a justly lost manuscript by a justly unpublished author? Who knows her true name and origins? Who understands the exact nature of her many, many transgressions? Anna has come too far, and worked too hard, to lose this life. She cannot rest until she has eradicated the threat and reclaimed, definitively and permanently, her sole and uncontested right to her own story"--

No one knew Dr Sarah Fordyce was missing, until her husband's mutilated body is discovered in the family home, with a note nailed to his forehead, "Don't believe their lies!!!" Two weeks later, a city councillor disappears, and his murdered wife is found with the same words. Two weeks after that, it's a prominent local journalist who's vanished, his husband's corpse left as a twisted message board and the "Fortnight Killer" is the topic of daily headlines. Angus McVicar has only just made detective constable, and when he's assigned to the Major Inquiry Team hunting Oldcastle's newest serial killer it should be the perfect opportunity to prove himself. Only instead of being out on the front line, breaking the case, he's saddled with babysitting the forensic psychologist from hell, who's determined to drag him into a festering swamp of lies, delusions, and conspiracy theories. It's been twelve days since the Fortnight Killer last struck, and Angus is running out of time. But he's heading into darkness, and there are monsters lurking there.
