Jo Nesbo's The Snowman is soon to be a major motion picture, starring
Michael Fassbender, Rebecca Ferguson, and J.K. Simmons.
"An elegant and complex thriller....Harrowingly beautiful."
--New York Times Book Review
"A hugely impressive achievement--ambitious in scope, and skilled in
execution."
--Los Angeles Times
"The Redbreast certainly ranks with the best of current American crime
fiction."
--Washington Post
No disrespect meant to Henning Mankell and Stieg Larsson, but Jo Nesbø,
the New York Times bestselling author of The Snowman, is the most
exciting Scandinavian thriller writer in the crime fiction business.
The Redbreast is a fabulous introduction to Nesbø's tough-as-nails
series protagonist, Oslo police detective Harry Hole. A brilliant and
epic novel, breathtaking in its scope and design--winner of The Glass
Key for best Nordic crime novel and selected as the best Norwegian crime
novel ever written by members of Norway's book clubs--The Redbreast is
a chilling tale of murder and betrayal that ranges from the battlefields
of World War Two to the streets of modern-day Oslo. Follow Hole as he
races to stop a killer and disarm a ticking time-bomb from his nation's
shadowy past. Vogue magazine says that "nobody can delve into the
dark, twisted mind of a murderer better than a Scandinavian thriller
writer"...and nobody does it better than Jo Nesbø! James Patterson fans
should also take note.
