Derek B. Miller is an American novelist who has spent much of his adult life in Europe and the Middle East, experiences that inform the international settings of his fiction. His debut novel, Norwegian by Night, introduced readers to Sheldon Horowitz, an elderly Korean War veteran living in Oslo who becomes entangled in a murder, and to Sigrid Odegard, the Norwegian police officer investigating the case.

Miller’s work blends sharp character writing with thriller plotting and a dry sense of humor. His novels move between countries and time periods, and he has a particular talent for writing older characters with full inner lives. Beyond the Sheldon and Sigrid books, his standalone novels explore topics ranging from war in Iraq to post-apocalyptic radio societies.
