Crime Monthly

A taut standalone from the king of Nordic noir

i

Hooks you in immediately, there's an unnerving air of suspense throughout and meticulous attention to detail - the clever parallel timelines providing just enough clues to keep the pages turning. But, of course, it wouldn't be a Nesbo novel without twists no one sees coming

Independent

Nordic noir master Nesbø sets his sights on the American Midwest in this exquisitely plotted, darkly funny thriller that tackles gun control, police corruption, and psychological trauma in contemporary Minneapolis ... Readers will have no doubt they’re in the hands of a brilliant storyteller. This soars

Publishers Weekly

[Wolf Hour] is a pleasure to read with its engaging, easy-twisting plot, its cerebral touches, and characters like Liza, a bartender whose teasing scenes with Oz are highlights. /…/ Another standout standalone from the author of the Harry Hole series

Kirkus

Nesbø has crafted a powerhouse here, a profoundly human exploration of loneliness and grief driven by a twisting procedural plot and grisly shocks. Readers of Nordic noir will find Nesbø’s taut narrative and social commentary deeply infused with emotional depth. Highly recommended for newcomers seeking startling perspectives on justice, such as those found in Dennis Lehane’s and Richard Price’s works
