Norwegian By Night #01: Norwegian by Night

- Blurb -

Sheldon Horowitz ' 82 years old, impatient, and unreasonable ' is staying with his granddaughter's family in Norway when he disappears with a stranger's child. Is he just an old, remarkable man who is coming undone at the end of a long and hard life, or is he on a heroic final mission? Sheldon had fought in Korea as a Marine, and he feels responsible for his son's death in Vietnam. Recently widowed and bereft, he talks to the ghosts of his past constantly. But Sheldon is clear in his own mind. He'd heard the boy's eastern European mother being murdered, and he's determined to protect him from the killer and his gang. With an endearing combination of dexterity and daring, Sheldon manages to elude the police in what is hostile, foreign territory for him. But what he doesn't know is that the police and the gang both know where he's heading. Norwegian by Night is the last adventure of a man coming to terms with the tragedy of his own life as he tries to save another. It is a compelling psychological thriller ' comic, wise, and tragic in turns ' that is impossible to put down.
