Reviews
Comparisons with Stieg Larsson have been made, but Nesbo's plots move quickly, carry more punch, and really do keep you guessing to the final page * Daily Mirror *
A cracking good thriller...that will keep you gripped to the last page * Guardian *
Outstanding... Probably the best big crime novel you could lay your hands on this year * BBC Radio 4 *
Nesbo's novels keep going when you think there can't be any more twists to follow. Scenes switch from the avalanche-threatened ravines and mountain cabins of back-country Norway, close to oil-rich Stavanger and metropolitan Oslo, to an active volcano in Africa * Times Literary Supplement *
Original Norwegian noir...absorbing -- Tom Huddleston * Time Out *
