THERE’S A NEW KILLER ON THE STREETS...

A woman is found murdered after an internet date. The marks left on her body show the police that they are dealing with a particularly vicious killer.

HE’S IN YOUR HOUSE…HE’S IN YOUR ROOM

Under pressure from the media to find the murderer, the force know there’s only one man for the job. But Harry Hole is reluctant to return to the place that almost took everything from him. Until he starts to suspect a connection between this killing and his one failed case.

HE’S OUT FOR BLOOD

When another victim is found, Harry realises he will need to put everything on the line if he’s to finally catch the one who got away.

'An expertly plotted, compelling and gripping white-knuckle ride… Nesbo deserves to be crowned the king of all crime thriller writers' Sunday Express on THE SON

'Nesbo deploys all the key ingredients of a cracking good thriller with expertise and verve. The ticking clock, the tension expertly ratcheted ever upwards, the changing scenery, the constantly shifting goalposts and the effortless, triumphant outpacing of the reader's ability to guess what's going to happen will keep you gripped to the last page' Guardian on THE LEOPARD

'The undisputed king of Scandinavian crime fiction' The Times

'Scandinavian crime thrillers don’t come much darker or more tense than the best-selling Harry Hole series, and this tenth outing for the Norwegian detective is the best yet' Sunday Mirror on POLICE

Jo Nesbo

Jo 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').

Their second album topped the charts in Norway, but he 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.

He is regarded as one of the world’s leading crime writers, with The Leopard, Phantom, Police and The Son all topping the UK bestseller charts, and his novels are published in 50 languages. The new Harry Hole thriller, The Thirst, is published on April 20th 2017.

Harry Hole is happy. Yes, that is true - he’s retired from the police and now teaching at the police academy. He’s stopped drinking and even married. Is this too good to be true?

Well yes - there’s two murders to solve - two women who have been on Tinder dates so straight away Harry gets involved -once he’s been given an offer he can’t refuse. Hole is back on a case and determined to get back to what he’s best at.

This is just the start of the weird and unusual which follows him in this case - the deeper he digs, the more secrets to come to the surface. Could it be someone from his past? This is someone he never hoped to see again. The chase is on and the war has only just begun.

Nesbo takes Harry to a new level in this book. He’s changed, he’s the same and he’s trying to be better. Yet he’s flawed as we all know. He develops and shows his flaws more in this book and somehow seems even more real. There’s so many threads which tangle and then unravel spinning Harry so fast he can barely see ahead. Vampires even come into the mix -a bloodlust of the most frightening kind. But keep a clear head he must - the book ends in a way that there has to be a very interesting book after this one.

Excellent translation - the language is gripping and powerful. Top Nordic thriller this one and Oslo is as dark and chilling as ever!
