Sheldon Horowitz, čerstvý dvaaosmdesátiletý vdovec, se neochotně přestěhuje do Osla ke své vnučce a jejímu norskému manželovi. Jakožto bývalý mariňák často mluví s přízraky z vlastní minulosti – s přáteli, o které přišel v Pacifiku, a se synem, který v jeho stopách vstoupil do americké armády a zemřel ve Vietnamu. Poté co se Sheldon stane svědkem vraždy ženy v domě, ve kterém bydlí, zachrání jejího šestiletého syna a rozhodne se uprchnout. Pronásleduje ho nejen balkánský gang, který má vraždu na svědomí, ale i norská policie. Chce-li Sheldon chlapce ochránit, musí se spolehnout na svůj již více než půl století starý výcvik. Uprostřed neznámé a zvláštní krajiny si tento nevyrovnaný pár, který ani nemluví stejným jazykem, začne budovat pouto, které by je snad jediné mohlo zachránit. Norsko v noci, pozoruhodný debut s nezapomenutelným hlavním hrdinou, vypráví o posledním dobrodružství muže, který se stále ještě snaží vyrovnat s tragédiemi, které mu život přinesl. Tato strhující a promyšlená kniha je současně thrillerovou honičkou v lesích i emočně působivým románem o stárnutí a žalu.

We will lie, cheat, steal, fight, kill, and sin our way to Napoli. We will trust no one but each other, and we will remember that in this place, at this time, there is no way to tell friend from foe. The bombing of Rome in 1943 leaves fourteen-year-old Massimo orphaned and with no choice but to set out on a perilous journey to find his remaining family in Naples. A chance meeting with the mysterious and charismatic Pietro Houdini will deliver both of them to the doors of the monastery of Monte Cassino, a centuries-old haven of contemplation, learning and art. But the abbey is in the path of the relentless Allied advance to Rome. Pietro and Massimo need a plan to survive the coming onslaught and that means out-manoeuvring the Germans who are as interested in the abbey's art collection as in the murder of two of their officers in the town below. For their plan to work, they must dissemble, disguise, and outwit two armies using skills that Pietro has in spades, but as war edges ever closer, it becomes clear that Massimo is not without a surprise or two either... The Curse of Pietro Houdini is a sweeping tale of resilience, hope and survival which is at once an action-packed adventure heist, an imaginative chronicle of forgotten history and a philosophical coming-of-age story.

Working with - or, if necessary, against - someone actually named Sheriff Irving 'Irv' Wylie, she must negotiate the local political minefields and navigate the back woods of the Adirondacks to uncover the truth before it's too late...Shortlisted for the CWA Gold Dagger Award 2019

A coming-of-age story set during the rising tide of World War II, How to Find Your Way in the Dark follows Sheldon Horowitz from his humble start in a cabin in rural Massachusetts, through the trauma of his father's murder and the murky experience of assimilation in Hartford, Connecticut, to the birth of stand-up comedy in the Catskills--all while he and his friends are beset by anti-Semitic neighbors, employers, and criminals.
