Harry Hole is back! The blistering new SUNDAY TIMES number one bestseller!
Jo Nesbo is one of the world's bestselling crime writers,
with The Leopard, Phantom, Police, The Son and his latest Harry
Hole novel, The Thirst, all topping the Sunday Times bestseller
charts. He's an international number one bestseller and his books
are published in 50 languages, selling over 36 million copies
around the world.
Before becoming a crime writer, Nesbo played football for Norway's
premier league team Molde, but his dream of playing professionally
for Spurs was dashed when he tore ligaments in his knee at the age
of eighteen. After three years military service he attended
business school and formed the band Di Derre ('Them There'). They
topped the charts in Norway, but Nesbo continued working as a
financial analyst, crunching numbers during the day and gigging at
night. When commissioned by a publisher to write a memoir about
life on the road with his band, he instead came up with the plot
for his first Harry Hole crime novel, The Bat.
