The Alaska Sanders Affair

A literary superstar * Sunday Times *Joël Dicker’s novels evoke the creepy pastoral dread of Twin Peaks, the clockwork plotting of Golden Age detective fiction, and the black comedy of the noir masters. 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
