Absolution

by OlafOlafsson (Author)

Synopsis

'You have heard stories, many stories, true and fictitious, about everything under the sun - everything except my little crime. Nobody except me knows about that.' Peter Peterson is wracked with nightmares of the past. Now a dying man leading a degenerate and shadowy life in New York, estranged from his family, he confesses everything, from his boyhood in Reykjavik to his escape from Nazi-occupied Denmark - and, of course, the 'little crime' that destroyed his life.
