Synopsis

An instant Wall Street Journal bestseller. Soon to be a major motion picture from Imagine Entertainment and producers Ron Howard and Brian Grazer.

Between life and death lies an epic war, a relentless manhunt through two worlds...and an unforgettable love story.

The last thing FBI agent Will Brody remembers is the explosion—a thousand shards of glass surfing a lethal shock wave.

He wakes without a scratch.

The building is in ruins. His team is gone. Outside, Chicago is dark. Cars lie abandoned. No planes cross the sky. He’s relieved to spot other people—until he sees they’re carrying machetes.

Welcome to the afterlife.

Claire McCoy stands over the body of Will Brody. As head of an FBI task force, she hasn’t had a decent night’s sleep in weeks. A terrorist has claimed eighteen lives and thrown the nation into panic.

Against this horror, something reckless and beautiful happened. She fell in love...with Will Brody.

But the line between life and death is narrower than any of us suspect—and all that matters to Will and Claire is getting back to each other.

From the author of the million-copy bestselling Brilliance Trilogy comes a mind-bending thriller that explores our most haunting and fundamental question: What if death is just the beginning?

About this title

Review:

An Amazon Best Book of July 2017: After you read dozens upon dozens of thrillers, sometimes their twists and turns become more like predictable wiggles. Not so in Afterlife. Toward the beginning, there were a handful of moments where I thought, “I can see where this is going....” I was wrong every single time, and I finally wised up and just settled in for the ride. FBI agent Will Brody and Assistant Special Agent in Charge Claire McCoy have a panicked Chicago on their hands when a serial sniper takes down his seventeenth victim outside a high-end grocery store. But it’s not until the killer lays a cunning trap for the agents tracking him that Brody and McCoy realize that they are facing someone—or something—that has never been seen before by the FBI’s behavioral specialists. A ghost story, a love story, a whole lot of action, and a true-blue indictment on the corrosiveness of evil form the flexible backbone of this whip-smart thriller that corkscrews like a bronco. --Adrian Liang, The Amazon Book Review
