New Releases by A.J. Finn

For fans of Knives Out comes a spellbinding thriller from the author of the #1 New York Times bestseller The Woman in the Window “I’ll be dead in three months. Come tell my story.” So writes Sebastian Trapp, reclusive mystery novelist, to his longtime correspondent Nicky Hunter, an expert in detective fiction. With mere months to live, Trapp invites Nicky to his spectacular San Francisco mansion to help draft his life story . . . while living alongside his beautiful second wife, Diana; his wayward nephew, Freddy; and his protective daughter, Madeleine. Soon Nicky finds herself caught in an irresistible case of real-life “detective-fever.” “You and I might even solve an old mystery or two.” Twenty years earlier—on New Year’s Eve 1999—Sebastian’s first wife and teenage son vanished from different locations, never to be seen again. Did the perfect crime writer commit the perfect crime? And why has he emerged from seclusion, two decades later, to allow a stranger to dig into his past? “Life is hard. After all, it kills you.” As Nicky attempts to weave together the strands of Sebastian’s life, she becomes obsessed with discovering the truth . . . while Madeleine begins to question what her beloved father might actually know about that long-ago night. And when a corpse appears in the family’s koi pond, both women are shocked to find that the past isn’t gone—it’s just waiting.

About the Book Pockets Full of Poseys is a memoir about author A.J. Finn’s abusive and severely dysfunctional childhood. Full of a cast of unsavory characters, unexpected champions, and a brave little girl, it’s a tale of the triumph of the human spirit against all odds. Instead of wallowing in sadness, A.J. presents the facts with dark humor and sarcasm, while still acknowledging the horror. Unfortunately domestic violence and child abuse are much more common than we''d like to believe. Many people out there can relate to her story, and she hopes it will let others out there who came from similar situations or are in one now know that they are not alone. There is hope beyond pain. We can go on to live a good life without our trauma defining us and become who we want to be. About the Author A.J.
