In a remote corner of Norway - a mountain town so far north the sun never sets - a man is running for his life in the thrilling sequel to number-one bestseller Jo Nesbo's Blood on Snow
Jo Nesbo (Author)
Jo Nesbo is one of the world's bestselling crime writers, with The
Leopard, Phantom, Police, The Son, The Thirst, Macbeth and Knife
all topping the Sunday Times bestseller charts. He's an
international number one bestseller and his books are published in
50 languages, selling over 50 million copies around the world.
Before becoming a crime writer, 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'). They
topped the charts in Norway, but Nesbo 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.
