Inherit the dead

This is a collaborative serial novel where twenty different authors each wrote a single chapter, passing the story along to the next contributor to maintain a cohesive narrative. The project was edited by Jonathan Santlofer, who also wrote the first chapter, while Lee Child provided the introduction.

Royalties from the book, beyond the compensation for the editor and contributors, are donated to Safe Horizon, a prominent victim assistance agency that supports those affected by domestic violence, child abuse, and other crimes.

While it is not a direct sequel, this book follows the same collaborative format as the 2011 novel No Rest for the Dead, which also featured a team of prominent crime fiction writers.
