"The twelve tales in this impressive collection from bestseller Nesbø (the Harry Hole series) blend taut suspense with sharply limned characters. . . . Frederick Forsyth fans will be enthralled."
–Publishers Weekly "Nesbø delivers stories ranging from dystopian visions to time-honored tales of duplicity and revenge. . . . Wonderfully atmospheric. . . . He never runs out of ideas."
–Kirkus Reviews Additional praise for Jo Nesbø
"Nesbø is the greatest contemporary writer of the thriller."
–James Shapiro, The New York Times
"[Nesbø is] a forceful thriller machine."
–Steph Cha, Los Angeles Times
"Nesbø explores the darkest criminal minds with grim delight . . . Maddeningly addictive."
–Vanity Fair
"Nesbø's books have a serious, socially significant heft, as well as a confident (even cocky) narrative stride that is unmatched.
" –Doug Childers, The Richmond Times-Dispatch
"Nesbø writes like an angel. As in Lucifer."
–Susan Balée, The Philadelphia Inquirer
