The Alaska Sanders Affair explores a murder case that, years later, reveals deeper mysteries. Celebrity author Marcus Goldman seeks the truth alongside Sergeant Gahalowood.
In The Alaska Sanders Affair, the seemingly straightforward murder case of Alaska Sanders takes a complex turn years later. Initially solved with two suspects—one who died and another who confessed—this case appears closed. However, the unexpected death of another woman in a fast-food parking lot reignites interest in the original investigation, leading to a deeper exploration of the events surrounding Alaska's murder. Celebrity author Marcus Goldman, who has a knack for unraveling mysteries, becomes embroiled in the case, determined to uncover the truth that has remained hidden for over a decade.
As Marcus delves into the investigation, he partners with Sergeant Perry Gahalowood, the detective who originally led the case. Gahalowood is motivated by a desire for redemption and a commitment to uncovering the truth, which he believes has been obscured by time and circumstances. Together, they navigate a web of clues, witness testimonies, and unanswered questions that challenge their understanding of justice and friendship. The narrative unfolds with meticulous attention to detail, showcasing Dicker's skill in crafting a slow-burn police procedural that keeps readers engaged.
The Alaska Sanders Affair is a masterclass in suspense, filled with unexpected twists and turns that only Joël Dicker could orchestrate. As the characters confront their pasts and the implications of their findings, the story raises profound questions about guilt, loyalty, and the pursuit of truth in a world where appearances can be deceiving.

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.
