Simon & Schuster and Flynn’s estate have commissioned thriller writer Kyle Mills to complete Flynn’s unfinished novel, “The Survivor.” The book is is tentatively scheduled to hit shelves next year.
Flynn, who sold more than 15 million books in the U.S. alone and counted Presidents Bill Clinton and George W. Bush among his fans, was 47 when he died June 19, 2013, in his hometown of St. Paul after battling prostate cancer for more than two years.
Mills knows what it’s like to follow in another author’s footsteps. He has written 13 books, including three in the style of Jason Bourne creator Robert Ludlum, who died in 2001.
To prepare himself, Mills said he re-read every one of Flynn’s books in chronological order and took 150 pages of notes on everything from his writing style to his word choice. For “The Survivor,” Mills said he plans to continue with the story threads left hanging from Flynn’s last book, “The Last Man,” published in 2012.
