Jean Carlton asked Derek B. Miller:

Goodreads lists Norwegians by Night as both Sigrid Odegard #1 and Sheldon H #2...? do they have it wrong? . Sigrid didn't enter the plot until about halfway through. The book seems to be about Sheldon....so I was looking for Sheldon Horowitz #1......I see by questions below that probably not? The ending was perfect BTW

Derek B. Miller Hi. Thanks for asking. I don't so much think of all this as a crime series. Rather, they are stories about people in extraordinary circumstances. So it would go like this:

1. How to Find Your Way in the Dark: Sheldon's story from 1937-1947 (Sheldon #1)
2a. Norwegian by Night: Sheldon's story when he's 82 years old (Sheldon #2)
2b. Which also introduces Sigrid, the Norwegian cop (ergo Sigrid #1)
3. American by Day, which continues Sigrid's story leaving Sheldon behind, which is why I dedicated the book to him (ergo Sigrid #2, and perhaps Irv #1? I love Irv).

People meet and their lives spin off in different directions, most unexpectedly. I love this. Maybe the series continues because life itself goes on?
