Headhunters

The reader is glued to the pages like gum to the street.... Nesbo has accomplished an easily digested, but nevertheless brilliant and elegant thriller

Dagsavisen (Norway)

A darkly funny and cleverly plotted tale of greed which will further Nesbo's reputation

Mark Lawson, BBC Radio 4

He keeps the twists and shocks coming hard and fast before dumping us, breathless, into a head-scratchingly neat conclusion... an intriguing foray into the mind of a man you'd hope never to meet

Siobhan Murphy, Metro

Headhunters is a stand-alone thriller, but just as well executed as his regular police procedurals...Written in the Norwegian author's typical no-nonsense prose, and plotted with precision to create a relentless and breakneck tale that keeps the reader hungrily turning the pages for more.

Doug Johnstone, Big Issue

Nesbo is a master storyteller, gripping the reader from the first page and rachetingup the suspense in a thrilling finale with several satisfying twists.

Jon Coates, Sunday Express

With echoes of The Thomas Crown Affair, spectacular storytelling and a beautifully judged super-twist, it confirms Nesbo's place at the pinnacle of thriller writers and, inevitably, a film version will be with us next year. It's that good.
