Description

'A superb novel on all levels . . . Miller is a classy satirist of American mores.' The Times
'Not to be missed . . . A subtle crime story peopled with beautifully drawn characters.' Daily Mail

Shortlisted for the CWA Gold Dagger Award 2019

She knew it was a weird place. She'd heard the stories, seen the movies, read the books. But now police Chief Inspector Sigrid deg rd has to leave her native Norway and actually go there; to that land across the Atlantic where her missing brother is implicated in the mysterious death of a prominent African-American academic.

America.

And not someplace interesting, either: upstate New York.

Plunged into a United States where race and identity, politics and promise, reverberate in every aspect of daily life. To find her older brother, she needs the help of the local police who appear to have already made up their minds about the case. 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...

What readers are saying:

***** 'American by Day is a treat - intelligent, melancholy, a fast-moving crime thriller with a witty look at small-town USA through Scandinavian eyes.'
***** 'The writing is intelligent and assured and the characterisation a delight. It is both serious and consistently wry.'
***** 'Witty, sharp and on point . . . both delights and captivates.'
