American by Day

If Tocqueville had written a police thriller, it might look something like this engrossing and wryly humorous but also deeply serious work. For fans of Miller and his previous works (e.g., The Girl in Green), which were deservedly acclaimed. [See Prepub Alert, 10/22/17.]

Norwegian by Night

In this fiction debut, Miller (senior fellow, UN Institute for Disarmament Research) has written both an exciting chase thriller and a poignant story about a man who comes into his own again in his dotage. The book occasionally verges on schmaltz, but it's bigger and better than this minor failing. The many admirers of Scandinavian crime novels will enjoy this big-hearted first novel, which embeds social commentary although it doesn't wear its political persuasions on its sleeve.
