From the bestselling author of the Harry Hole series, comes a short, sharp shock of a thriller. Blood on Snow- Drugs. Death. Murder. Revenge - and a hitman with two big problems
Jo 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). Their second album topped the
charts in Norway, but he 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. He is regarded as one of the
world's leading crime writers, with The Leopard, Phantom, Police
and The Son all topping the UK bestseller charts, and his novels
are published in 48 languages.

"Deserves to be a smash... A perfectly pitched thriller"
*Sunday Mirror*
"[An] incendiary cocktail of murder, revenge and a hitman with
multiple problems"
*Independent*
"Nesbo is in bracing form...gripping"
*Sun*
"Striking in its simplicity… Nesbo is a writer at the top of his
game who continues to amaze in new and confounding ways"
*Daily Express*
"The undisputed king of Scandinavian crime fiction...I am so used
to the energetic plot twists, fiendish violence and addictive
verbosity of Nesbo’s writing that Blood on Snow, with its
simplicity, brevity and unlikely poetry, comes as a welcome
antidote. It is set in the 1970s, an era of increasing fascination
to Nesbo, and has a first-person narrative that provides a window
into its protagonist’s lonely, tortured soul"
