      »Erstklassige Unterhaltung und Spannung wie wir sie nur von Jo Nesbø kennen.« NRK Minnesota, 2016: Ermittler Bob Oz ist seit dem Unfalltod seiner dreijährigen Tochter nicht mehr er selbst. Seine Frau verlässt ihn, Freunde ziehen sich zurück. Allein die knallharte Ermittlerarbeit lässt ihn seine Dämonen für einige Stunden vergessen: Oz jagt einen Mörder, der einen Rachefeldzug gegen Drogenbosse und Waffenhändler in Minneapolis führt. Und immer ist der ihm einen Schritt voraus, trickst Kameras aus, hinterlässt irreführende Spuren. Erst als bekannt wird, dass er einen Anschlag auf den Bürgermeister plant, kann Oz ihm eine Falle stellen. Doch wer stellt hier wem eine Falle? »Ein absolut atemberaubender Fall vor einem mehr als realistischen Hintergrund. Und doch ist Minnesota von der ersten bis zur letzten Zeile vor allem eins: große Unterhaltung!« Dagsavisen

      The author of the internationally best-selling Harry Hole series now gives us an electrifying stand-alone novel set amid Oslo's hierarchy of corruption, from which one very unusual young man is about to propel himself into a mission of brutal revenge. Sonny Lofthus, in his early thirties, has been in prison for the last dozen years: serving time for crimes he didn't commit. In exchange, he gets an uninterrupted supply of heroin—and the unexpected stream of fellow prisoners seeking out his uncanny abilities to soothe and absolve. His addiction started when his father committed suicide rather than be exposed as a corrupt cop, and now Sonny is the center of a vortex of corruption: prison staff, police, lawyers, a desperate priest—all of them focused on keeping him stoned and jailed, and all of them under the thumb of Oslo's crime overlord, the Twin. When Sonny learns some long-hidden truths about his father he makes a brilliant escape, and begins hunting down the people responsible for the hideous crimes he's paid for. But he's also being hunted, by the Twin, the cops, and the only person who knows the ultimate truth that Sonny is seeking. The question is, what will he do when they've cornered him?

      Durante la Seconda Guerra Mondiale, un gruppo di giovani soldati norvegesi era stato scelto e inviato a combattere a fianco dell’esercito tedesco alle porte di Leningrado. Una volta tornati in patria, quegli uomini avevano trovato ad attenderli un’accusa di alto tradimento e il carcere duro. Ora, a distanza di sessant’anni, quell’inferno non è ancora finito, e uno dopo l’altro iniziano a morire in circostanze oscure. In questa torbida vicenda si imbatte Harry Hole, poliziotto dell’antiterrorismo dal grilletto facile e con un debole per l’alcol. Lui la violenza è abituato a guardarla negli occhi ogni giorno, senza tregua. E mentre indaga sulla minaccia di un attentato ai danni dei reali di Norvegia, che si fa ogni giorno più concreta, uno strano ritrovamento attira la sua attenzione: i monti intorno a Oslo gli restituiscono alcuni bossoli di un Märklin, un fucile di precisione tedesco di cui erano stati costruiti solo trecento esemplari. E sulle tracce di quest’insolita arma si addentrerà in una palude di tradimenti e vendette da cui sarà difficile riemergere.

      Bij een belangrijk vredesoverleg in Oslo over het Midden-Oosten maakt politiecommissaris Harry Hole deel uit van het antiterrorismeteam dat de veiligheid moet garanderen van de deelnemende staatshoofden. Hij ontdekt dat er een aanslag gepland wordt en komt op het spoor van Sverre Olsen, een neonazi. Hole belandt in een wespennest van leugens en intriges, liefde en verraad dat terug te voeren is op een moord die plaatsvond in Leningrad tijdens de Tweede Wereldoorlog.

    • Bestselling Norwegian mystery author Jo Nesbø enters the world of children’s books with Doctor Proctor’s Fart Powder, the first book in this very funny middle-grade series. Filled with magic, wit, and bathroom humor, Doctor Proctor will keep boys and girls laughing until the end. Eleven-year-old Nilly is new to the neighborhood, but he is quick to make friends: Doctor Proctor, an eccentric professor who invents wacky potions and powders; and brainy Lisa, who is always teased by the twin terrors Truls and Trym. All is good farty fun when Nilly and Lisa help Doctor Proctor develop his latest invention, a powder that makes you fart. The powder makes Nilly and Lisa VERY popular at school when they sell it for 50 cents a bag. (And they get revenge on Truls and Trym by giving them an extra-strength dose of fart powder that shoots them up into a tree!) But when Doctor Proctor creates an industrial-strength version that can send people to outer space, the kids must go to great lengths to protect the invention and keep it out of the hands of their neighbors, who want to use the powder for evil purposes. In the spirit of Roald Dahl and Lemony Snicket, Doctor Proctor offers a winning combination of humor, adventure, and absurdity that kids (of all ages) will love—proving that Jo Nesbø can keep you on the edge of the seat and make your sides split in equal measure.
