The brand new Harry Hole thriller from number one bestseller Jo Nesbo
Jo Nesbo (Author)
Jo Nesbo is one of the world's bestselling crime writers, with The
Leopard, Phantom, Police, The Son, The Thirst 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 45 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.

[Knife] may be Nesbo’s best storytelling yet. It’s not just clever;
it’s diabolical, and let’s be glad it is, because the corkscrewing
plot provides a measure of relief from the pain on view in this
uncompromisingly intense and brilliant novel
*Booklist*
Knife shows Nesbo back on form… This is a police procedural that
breaks the bounds of the format with abandon… Nesbo manhandles the
reader into contented…submission
*Financial Times*
Knife sees the return of Harry’s old nemesis Svein Finne… The plot
never goes the way you think it will, as Nesbo delights in playing
tricks on the reader
*Mail on Sunday*
This is Scandi noir as dark as obsidian with an emotional wreck of
a protagonist
*i*
You can imagine the worst (and you will probably be right), but the
brilliant Jo Nesbo will surprise you anyway. Knife is the most
unpredictable novel in the [Harry Hole] series
*Forbes, Russia*
