topped the Sunday Times charts. He's an international number one
bestseller and his books are published in 51 languages, selling

excellent effect in building dread

Nesbo weaves the strands of his elaborate narrative with the ease
of a gifted storyteller, tantalising the reader with misdirections
and a plateful of red herrings. Yet it's remarkable how quickly he
can disentrangle an intricate plot. And momentum? He's a genius at
that - the 500-plus pages just fly by...never underestimate Nesbo -
he's a writer with a seemingly endless supply of stories to
tell
*The Times*
[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

You can imagine the worst (and you will probably be right), but the

unpredictable novel in the [Harry Hole] series
