The reference is to Sue Grafton’s Kinsey Milhone “alphabet” series, which ended with “Y” at the author’s death. Grafton explicitly rejected having a ghost writer finish the series and to their credit, her heirs are honoring her wish.

In the case of the Wheel of Time series, Robert Jordan's wife Harriet picked Brandon Sanderson to write the last book after her husband died. It was Robert's wish that the series be finished.

And most of the old men's adventure novels (Deathlands, The Executioner, etc.) were written by house names. But at least the Executioner books acknowledged the true author with a thanks. |

Some alphabets don't even have X and Y, never mind Z. In the past in England the & was the last letter of the alphabet as taught to small children.
I've read Z is for Zachariah. Same author as the Rats of NIMH, but post-apocalypse SF. |
