Novelist Matthew Harken finds himself in an afterlife world where he's not quite alive and not quite dead. While his body is being worked on by surgeons, Matthew must decide whether or not to return to the living. He discovers his dear friend and fellow novelist Anna Toyevsky has split into three separate beings. Is that a result of her suicide? He is visited by other friends who have passed on and he witnesses scenes from his life. He discovers that even in the afterlife, you cannot always trust everyone you know. Anna in the Afterlife is Part Three of THE AFTERLIFE TRILOGY.
