"Nesbø never lets a page go by without making characters and
situations vivid."—Houston Chronicle
"The world is dark and frozen, according to Nordic noir, and so is
the human heart.
But it's the magic Nesbø works with the genre's tropes that
matters.... [He] might be my favorite of the lot."—Michael Robbins,
Chicago Tribune
"Satisfyingly twisty.... A compelling, hard-edged
thriller."—Booklist
“Excellent ... the most popular among [Nesbø’s] earlier novels and
one that casts a cold eye on the reality of expatriate life of some
Europeans in Asia.”—The Irish Independent
“The complex narrative and large dramatis personae are handled with
steely authority ... The picturesque seediness of Bangkok and
Thailand turns out to be Harry Hole's natural element, with Nesbo
plumping his hero down in a very non-Norwegian setting.”—The
Independent (UK)
Praise for Jo Nesbø

Inquirer
“Harry Hole is fast becoming one of the planet’s favorite
detectives. And his demons are almost as legendary as his
observational and analytical skills.”—The Mirror (UK)
“Nesbø explores the darkest criminal minds with grim delight and
puts his killer where you least expect to find them.... His novels
are maddeningly addictive.”—Vanity Fair
