Comparisons with Stieg Larsson have been made, but Nesbo's plots move quickly, carry more punch, and really do keep you guessing to the final page

A cracking good thriller...that will keep you gripped to the last page

Nesbo's novels keep going when you think there can't be any more twists to follow. Scenes switch from the avalanche-threatened ravines and mountain cabins of back-country Norway, close to oil-rich Stavanger and metropolitan Oslo, to an active volcano in Africa

Times Literary Supplement

Original Norwegian noir...absorbing

- Tom Huddleston, Time Out

So is <i>The Leopard</i> as good as <i>The Snowman</i>? In my opinion it's better. More layered with more suspicious characters, red-herrings and locations than ever before

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 50 languages, selling over 60 million copies around the world.
