'Has the brains of a literary novel and the body of a thriller' The New York Times 'Miller joins the ranks of Stieg Larsson, Henning Mankell, and Jo Nesbo, the holy trinity of Scandinavian crime novelists.' Booklist ______________________________________________ A former Marine sniper and a newly orphaned boy race across the Norwegian wilderness, fleeing demons both real and imagined. Sheldon Horowitz-widowed, impatient, impertinent-has grudgingly agreed to leave New York and move in with his granddaughter, Rhea, and her new husband, Lars, in Norway-a country of blue and ice, not the place for a former Marine sniper in the Korean War turned watch repairman. Not until now, anyway. Home alone one morning, Sheldon witnesses a dispute between the woman who lives upstairs and an aggressive stranger. When events turn dire, Sheldon seizes and shields the neighbor's young son from the violence, and they flee the scene. As Sheldon and the boy look for a safe haven in an alien world, past and present weave together, forcing them ever forward to a wrenching moment of truth. ______________________________ Acclaim for Norwegian by Night Best New Crime Writer of the Year, Crime Writers Association Best of 2013, The Guardian Best of 2013, Financial Times Best of 2013, The Economist Best of Crime 2013, Kirkus

Norwegian by Night is one of the more interesting Scandinoir novels I've read. Well written, simply plotted, the characters are memorable. However, (spoiler alert), I would have preferred an ending that wasn't quite so noir because by the end of the novel, I cared too much about its elderly Jewish, Korean War veteran protagonist.
Highly recommended.

Don't miss out on this one
I just finished N by N. It was totally captivating. I took me a complete day to finish the last chapter, because I was afraid they would kill Sheldon. (My mother said I was an unabashed escapist, and she was correct.) The writing was superb. I had only two qualms about a tense he was using--I knew he was trying to keep the story in the active voice, but I questioned the wisdom of this. The NY Times was right on by saying, Has the brains of a literary novel and the body of a thriller. The characterizations were superb--there was not one character I did not get--even the speechless Paul. I could go on and on, but I don't want to give the plot away.
