American By Day by Derek B Miller
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 2019Derek B Miller writes the kind of crime fiction the world needs right now. Principled, but not afraid to get down and dirty - and shot through with some of the sharpest humour you're likely to find. * Joseph Knox, bestselling author of Sirens *
Not to be missed...A subtle crime story peopled with beautifully drawn characters -- Geoffrey Wansell * Daily Mail *
A witty and intelligent fish-out-of-water tale * Sun *
American By Day is a terrific book - a high-class thriller with a neat Norwegian twist. You won't forget Sigrid, an Oslo detective on a mission in upstate New York; her outsider's take on American society gives this page-turner a unique and compelling sensibility. -- Erica Wagner
