*The Alaska Sanders Affair* (originally *L’Affaire Alaska Sanders*), published in September 2024, is Joël Dicker’s gripping follow-up to *Harry Quebert*. The story revisits an ostensibly closed murder in April 1999, when young Alaska Sanders was found dead by a lake in New Hampshire and her killer swiftly convicted. Eleven years later, celebrity author–investigator Marcus Goldman teams up with Sergeant Perry Gahalowood—the lead cop from the original case—to reexamine the evidence after a mysterious note casts doubt on the verdict. As they dig deeper, their investigation unravels long-buried secrets, lures in ghosts of the past, and gradually exposes an unforeseen, twist‑filled truth about Alaska and the community’s darkest shadows .
