No disrespect meant to Henning Mankell and Stieg Larsson, but Jo Nesb¸, 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 Nesb¸€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 €œnobody can delve into the dark, twisted mind of a murderer better than a Scandinavian thriller writer€Â€¦and nobody does it better than Jo Nesb¸! James Patterson fans should also take note.
