AFK is a self-published novel about private detectives, surveillance, and other noir-ish subjects, only here, it's set in Second Life. It was written in 2007 by an avatar named Huckleberry Hax, but I'm only finding out about it now because Dale Ennis did. His fulsome endorsement was enough for me to start reading the opening chapter, and I can confirm it's crisply written and immediately engaging, with enough SL-specific details that fellow Residents will immediately relate to (like these fans of the novel), stuff that'll likely seem obscure to non-Second Lifers. But perhaps that's part of its appeal. You can download it for free here or buy a physical copy from Lulu here.
