Publisher Description

An elegant and complex thriller….Harrowingly beautiful.

Jo Nesbø, the New York Times bestselling author of The Snowman, has solidified his spot as one of the most exciting Scandinavian crime writers.

The Redbreast is the third installment in Nesbø's tough-as-nails series featuring Oslo police detective Harry Hole.

No disrespect meant to Henning Mankell and Stieg Larsson, but Jo Nesbø is the most exciting Scandinavian thriller writer in the crime fiction business.

The Redbreast is a fabulous introduction to Nesbø's tough-as-nails series protagonist, Oslo police detective Harry Hole.

A brilliant and epic novel, breathtaking in its scope and design—winner of The Glass Key for best Nordic crime novel and selected as the best Norwegian crime novel ever written by members of Norway's book clubs—The Redbreast is a chilling tale of murder and betrayal that ranges from the battlefields of World War Two to the streets of modern-day Oslo.

Follow Hole as he races to stop a killer and disarm a ticking time-bomb from his nation's shadowy past.
