Overview

Vivien is not okay. Vivien will never be okay. Not in this lifetime. Her deafblind nephew pulls the trigger. Her husband falls. The board shifts. What follows isn't grief. It's awakening. Like a game she's played before--and lost. A detective sees through her. And so does something older. Something darker. Vivien, After is a memory--and a memory lapse. It's a reflex left over from a previous present. It's the sensation people get of having lived past lives. They may well have, but not in the past. Grant Jerkins is the author of five novels, including the award-winning A Very Simple Crime, which The New York Times called ""an extremely nasty study in abnormal psychology that dares us to solve a mystery in which none of the normal character cues can be taken at face value."" Wait until they meet Vivien.

Brilliant. Brutal. Hitchcockian. Endlessly fascinating."" -Savannah Morning News ""Dark. Chilling. Startling. No one is as they appear to be, and the twists and turns never let up."" -Library Journal (Starred Review) ""You have to admire the purity of Jerkins's writing: He's determined to peer into the darkness and tell us exactly what he sees."" -The Washington Post ""Dares us to solve a mystery in which none of the normal character cues can be taken at face value."" -The New York Times Book Review ""Grisly suspense. Unimaginable horror."" -Kirkus Reviews ""Jerkins juggles his plot twists like a top circus acrobat."" -Publishers Weekly (A Very Simple Crime)""Maliciously cunning. Ratchets up a high level of dread."" -Publisher's Weekly (At the End of the Road) ""Darkly comic, consistently surprising, and agreeably macabre."" -Publisher's Weekly (The Ninth Step) ""Gritty, sordid, disturbing, and addictive.""
