NPR calls Sleepwalkers “One of the Top Five Mysteries of 2010” and “The Best Debut Novel of the Year” according to Kirkus. Berlin, 1932: The final weeks of the Weimar Republic. Hitler and his National Socialist party are assuming control of Germany. Willi Kraus, a high-ranking, famed detective in Berlin's police force, a decorated World War I hero, and a Jew, embarks on a murder investigation unlike anything anyone has ever seen. Despite his superiors’ attempts to divert him at every turn, Willi moves through the darkness to uncover some horrible truths about the people taking over his country, and it quickly becomes apparent that life in Germany will never be the same. "Many characters "sleepwalk" through the murky world of this novel; it's a testament to how endearing the industrious Willi is that readers will find themselves wanting to shake him by the shoulders and tell him to wake up before it's too late." - The Washington Post "Powerfully captures the atmosphere of Berlin on the verge of Nazi takeover, the elegance and cultural brilliance amid the decadence, and the sense of impending doom." - Library Journal, starred review
