Eleven Days by Donald Harstad
Eleven Days is a wry and gripping police thriller. Written by a former deputy sheriff on his vacation, the story covers the solving of a horrific satanic cult murder in farmland Iowa in just eleven days.
PRAISE FOR ELEVEN DAYS: "The kind of book that you start and finish in one late-night sitting" Sunday Express "A major achievement from an ex-cop; a novel that feels and smells right." Time Out "A hell of a novel, gripping and unsettling." Michael Connelly "Donald Harstad constructs a finely judged atmosphere of menace. Expertly written by a man who himself served as a law enforcement officer in Iowa, Eleven Days builds up suspense and holds it right through to the end." Irish Times "Undeniably gripping, and the contrast throughout between the trivia of existence and extreme and bloody violence is extraordinary effective." Evening Standard "Strong, salty narrative given extra muscle by sense of actuality and refusal to punch up the horrors." Literary Review "Like Patricia Cornwall, ex-cop turned novelist Donald Harstad's main claim to fame is that he knows what a pair of testicles look like when whizzed up in the blender." Independent
Don Harstad worked in a mailroom at Columbia TV following service in Vietnam and then in 1974 became a patrol officer, then an investigator, and later Deputy Sheriff of Clayton County, Iowa. He retired in 1996 and now writes from his experience.
