Biografisk notat
Jo Nesbo is one of the world's bestselling crime writers. When commissioned to write a memoir about life on the road with his band, Di Derre, he instead came up with the plot for his first Harry Hole crime novel, The Bat. His books The Leopard, Phantom, Police, The Son, The Thirst, Macbeth and Knife have all since topped the Sunday Times charts. He's an international number one bestseller and his books are published in 51 languages, selling over 60 million copies around the world.<b>The reader is glued to the pages like gum to the street</b>... Nesbo has accomplished an easily digested, but nevertheless brilliant and elegant thriller
Dagsavisen (Norway)
Don't miss this thriller from the UK's second biggest-selling fiction author about an ambitious art thief
Stylist
A masterclass in obfuscation and psychological parrying... Roger is a well-crafted, morally dubious character who remains oddly likeable owing to a nifty line in bitter observations... After recent events, no one can be in any doubt of Norway's dark side and Nesbo wisely juxtaposes Oslo's shiny veneer with its rotten elements. Equally, the parallels between artistic worth and corporate value are neatly levied... Nesbo has that rare talent for turning the tables on readers, confounding expectations and revealing on what is intended
Independent on Sunday
An accomplished novel from a first-rate author
Liverpool Daily Post
The central character in this standalone novel is (on first impression) an unpleasant, manipulative piece of work, and it is a measure of the author's skill that we find ourselves thoroughly on his side... It's no surprise that a successful film has already been made of the novel (the first of his books Nesbo has allowed to be filmed), as the cinematic quality of <i>Headhunters</i> makes it a particularly invigorating read...a sizeable measure of sheer entertainment is on offer. Nesboites might like the change of pace
Independent
Norwegian Jo Nesbo, lauded as the new Stieg Larsson, delivered the goods in <i>The Leopard</i> and <i>The Snowman</i>, and in <i>Headhunters </i>serves up a new hero...more plot twists than a country house garden maze... An accomplished novel
Press Association
I am the world's greatest living crime writer. [Jo Nesbo] is a man who is snapping at my heels like a rabid pit bull poised to take over my mantle when I dramatically pre-decease him
James Ellroy
Stellar stand-alone caper... The dizzying reversals of fortune and situations that would be over-the-top in lesser hands make for a delightful roller-coaster ride. Carl Hiaasen and Elmore Leonard fans will be delighted
