The Special Negotiator
Knut is Estelle’s deceased husband. Estelle explains that they were married “forever,” and they loved making each other laugh more than anything. He also made a point to always drop Estelle off close to their destination before he parked the car. Because of this, to feel less lonely in the novel’s present, Estelle sometimes pretends that Knut is still alive and is just out parking the car.

Well…we used to stand on the balcony for years…but I couldn’t bring myself to go out there after something that happened down on the bridge ten years ago. It’s a long story.”
