by Derek B. Miller, 2013, Kindle Edition, Mariner Books, Reprint edition

This book is about Sheldon Horowitz, an 82-year-old former U.S. Marine sharpshooter, who has moved in with his granddaughter and her husband in Norway. A woman who is a renter in the house is murdered by the father of her son. Sheldon hides the young boy and then escapes with him on a journey across Norway as the father is coming after them.

Sheldon struggles with his infirmaties, both mental and physical, as he attempts to save the boy but his former Marine training kicks in.

The story was a little fuzzy regarding the motives of the father and, because it switches back and forth from one character and scene to another, it’s somewhat hard to follow. Because the plot and setting is so different from other books, however, it is an interesting read.
