Jo Nesbo - Books in Order
A mainstay of contemporary Scandinavian noir, Jo Nesbo's Harry Hole thrillers are amongst the bestselling crime novels in the world. A complex character, chain-smoking, hard-drinking and uncompromising, Harry Hole is for many readers the ultimate detective; a fascinating anti-hero as conflicted as he is brilliant. Taking readers from Hole’s home territory of Oslo to Australia and Thailand, this is a truly transnational series that is worth sampling from the very beginning.
