SynopsisWhen he died, Peter Peterson left behind the trappings of a seemingly charmed life: a vast fortune, two children, and a stately Park Avenue address. But he left something else behind: a sheaf of confessions about a dark period of his youth. In pages written weeks before his death, he reveals a crime of passion, committed in the throes of unrequited love, that has burdened him for his entire life. Yet as he finishes his story, he encounters a surprise that will shake the very foundation of his past. Spanning a boyhood in Iceland to the Nazi occupation of Denmark to a cunning business career in modern-day Manhattan, Absolution echoes Dostoevsky and Ibsen as it masterfully plumbs the darkest corners of a sinister mind and a wounded heart.[3] Critical reception“Compulsive reading, and the spare, dry language concentrates the suspense…As cold and lucid as a quartz crystal.” – The Independent on Sunday (UK) [4] References1. ^{{cite web| url=https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0679428917/sr=1-9/qid=1320953037/ref=dp_proddesc_1?ie=UTF8&n=283155&qid=1320953037&sr=1-9| work=Amazon.ca| title= Absolution (Hardcover)}} 2. ^{{cite web| url=https://www.amazon.com/Absolution-Novel-Olaf-Olafsson/dp/1400030684/ref=sr_1_9?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1320953037&sr=1-9| publisher=Amazon.ca| title= Absolution (Paperback)}} 3. ^{{cite web| title= Random House| url=http://www.randomhouse.com/book/124288/absolution-by-olaf-olafsson |accessdate=2011-11-10}} 4. ^{{cite news| title= Independent UK|url=https://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/books-in-brief-1434567.html |accessdate=2011-11-10 | location=London|work=The Independent|date=1994-05-08}} External links
