A Wall Street Journal "Best Mystery of 2024" "If 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." --A. J. Finn, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Woman in the Window and End of Story "The Alaska Sanders Affair ... transcends pigeonholing with its abundance of plot, subplots and melodramatic U-turns ... everything seems to be connected ...
