Waterstones Says

Jo Nesbo’s twelfth Harry Hole mystery is a game-changer for the acclaimed series. An encounter with an old enemy sets the stage for a white knuckle ride more terrifying and disorientating than anything the maverick detective has had to face thus far. Knife is an unmissable instalment for fans of Nordic noir’s master craftsman.

Harry Hole's deadliest enemy is back... and out for blood.

Harry is in a bad place: Rakel has left him, he's working cold cases and notorious murderer Svein Finne is back on the streets.

The first killer Harry put behind bars is out to get him.

Harry is responsible for the many years Finne spent in prison but now he's free and ready to pick up where he left off.

A man like Harry better watch his back.

When Harry wakes up with blood on his hands, and no memory of what he did the night before, he knows everything is only going to get worse...

MEDIA REVIEWS

Knife shows Nesbo back on form… This is a police procedural that breaks the bounds of the format with abandon… Nesbo manhandles the reader into contented…submission - Financial Times

The sharp-as-a-knife Nesbo at his best. A first-class mix of thriller and murder mystery... Nesbo has done it again... Knife is a fantastic and exhilarating suspense novel - Dagbladet

Skilfully plotted…Nesbo…uses the vast, cold landscapes of Norway to excellent effect in building dread - UK Press Syndication

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 - Booklist

“Red Herrings all over Norway”

This is a great detective story. Clearly red herrings are commonplace in Norway and without giving any spoilers there are plenty in this book. Anyone who has followed the career of Harry Hole will know that he has a... More

“King of scandi noir”

Ok let's be honest Harry Hole is a cliche detective, and there are many similarities between him and Ian Rankin's great creation Rebus. They both like working outside the law, they are happy to use... More
