A new, dramatic look for Jo Nesbo's iconic Harry Hole detective series in 2022: what we are calling THE YEAR OF HARRY HOLE

Harry Hole faces a new rising enemy.

'A page-turner you won't want to put down' Time Out

Harry knows he shouldn't get involved.

A report of a rare and unusual gun - a type favoured by assassins - being smuggled into the country sparks Detective Harry Hole's interest.

Evil is closer to home than he knows.

Then a former WW2 Nazi sympathizer is found with his throat cut. Next, someone close to Harry is murdered. Why had she been trying to reach Harry on the night she was killed?

As Harry's investigation unfolds, it becomes clear that the killer is hell-bent on serving his own justice. And while the link between the cases remains a mystery, one thing is certain: he must be stopped.

But can Harry stop him in time?

About the author

Jo Nesbo

Jo Nesbo is one of the world’s bestselling crime writers, with The Leopard, Phantom, Police, The Son, The Thirst and Knife all topping the Sunday Times bestseller charts. He’s an international number one bestseller and his books are published in 50 languages, selling over 45 million copies around the world.

Before becoming a crime writer, Nesbo played football for Norway’s premier league team Molde, but his dream of playing professionally for Spurs was dashed when he tore ligaments in his knee at the age of eighteen. After three years military service he attended business school and formed the band Di Derre (‘Them There’). They topped the charts in Norway, but Nesbo continued working as a financial analyst, crunching numbers during the day and gigging at night. When commissioned by a publisher to write a memoir about life on the road with his band, he instead came up with the plot for his first Harry Hole crime novel, The Bat.

Praise for The Redbreast

Norway's finest crime writer... Nesbo clearly demonstrates his skill at executing expertly-crafted, well-paced thrillers that he sustains to the very end in a compelling fashion. As first novels go, The Redbreast and The Devil's Star are as accomplished as any reader is likely to experience

Daily Express

It requires some skilled plotting, but Nesbø brings it off, and Harry, with his quirky sense of humour, is a likeable hero despite his many flaws

Sunday Telegraph

A complex, utterly captivating story

Evening Standard

Exciting, witty, melancholy and thought-provoking

Daily Telegraph

A complicated story of passion, lost love, betrayal and murder

The Times

Scary...culminates in a nail-biting episode with overtones of The Day of the Jackal

Independent

A page-turner you won't want to put down

Time Out

THE NEXT STIEG LARSSON

INDEPENDENT

Jo Nesbo has the skill to blend intriguing mysteries with genuine emotion

Mark Sanderson, Evening Standard

Nobody can delve into the dark, twisted mind of a murderer better than the Scandinavian thriller writer
