He trusts everyone, when he shouldn't trust anyone.
How does a man with Asperger's Syndrome step out of his office, leave behind the safety of his desk and books, and embrace the world he's always kept at arm's length?
All his life, Daniel Peters has hidden behind his reputation as one of the world's best translators of the iconic philosopher Soren Kierkegaard. When his beloved ex-girlfriend and mentor dies under odd circumstances and a priceless Kierkegaard manuscript goes missing, Daniel turns out to be the last person to have seen her alive. To clear his name, he must leave the safety of his books and venture out into the streets of Copenhagen.
Reminiscent of The Curious Incident Of The Dog In The Nighttime, this mystery will keep readers guessing until the final page.
"A deftly crafted mystery that will leave readers curious and surprised, as well as empathetic."
—Publishers Weekly
“[Satterlee’s] debut places the solution to a mystery in the hands of someone whose own mind is a mystery, most of all to himself. Here's hoping [he] will give Daniel another go.”
—Kirkus
"Within a few pages, I fell in love with this book...an ambitious undertaking and couldn’t have been done better."
—Suspense Magazine
"Satterlee’s writing gifts are enormous. The author of the highly acclaimed poetry collection Burning Wyclif, he is adept at rendering Kierkegaard’s dense philosophy not only readable, but exquisite."
—Mystery Scene
"Because of Satterlee's skill...it seems entirely plausible and convincing...I was surprised and satisfied."
