The Sheldon Horowitz series follows one of contemporary fiction’s most memorable elderly protagonists. Beginning with Norwegian by Night in 2012, the series introduces Sheldon as an old man living in Oslo who witnesses a murder and goes on the run with the victim’s young son, drawing on survival skills he thought he had left behind decades ago.
The series continues with How to Find Your Way in the Dark, a prequel set in 1930s and 1940s America that reveals the formative experiences of Sheldon’s youth. Derek B. Miller writes Sheldon with equal parts humor and gravity, creating a character whose stubbornness and sharp wit make him compelling company across multiple novels.
