Contents

Plot

Second Life is the story of Julia, who has a perfect life with her husband Hugh and their adopted son, until an incident changes everything. Her sister Kate is murdered in an apparently random attack in Paris and the police seems to be stuck in their investigations. Julia decides to inquire into the murder on her own and finds out, that her sister was using online sites to play out her sexual fantasy by meeting up with strangers. Julia starts visiting some of these sites herself in hope of finding someone connected to Kate.

Reception

  • Larry Finlay of Transworld Publishers M.D. :"“Steve has delivered a roller-coaster of a read. Second Life is a multi-layered, psychological thriller where no one is quite what they seem. I tore through the pages as he ramps up the tension again and again, taking the reader into dark and unexpected places. It’s a tremendous accomplishment – exciting, dramatic and unyielding.

    • Film adaptation

    The film rights for the novel were acquired in May 2015 by Reese Witherspoon's production company, Pacific Standard.
