About the Book

"Astonishingly confident. . . . The Devil's Star scores with an intriguing plot and Nesbo's mastery of pace and tension." -- The Times (London) From one of the most celebrated crime writers in Europe and the award-winning author of The Redbreast comes an epic thriller featuring Police Detective Harry Hole. In the vein of the crime novels of James Patterson and Dennis Lehane, Jo Nesbo's The Devil's Star is an intricately plotted and suspenseful thrill-ride from beginning to end.

About the Author :
A musician, songwriter, and economist, Jo Nesbø is also one of Europe's most acclaimed crime writers, and is the winner of the Glass Key Award, northern Europe's most prestigious crime-fiction prize, for his first novel featuring Police Detective Harry Hole. Nesbø lives in Oslo.

Review :
"Astonishingly confident. . . . The Devil's Star scores with an intriguing plot and Nesbo's mastery of pace and tension." - The Times (London) "[A] beautifully executed heist drama. . . . Expertly weaving plot lines from Hole's last outing to feature the inspector, The Redbreast (2007), Nesbo delivers a lush crime saga that will leave U.S. readers clamoring for the next installment." - Publishers Weekly (starred review) "[A] bold, ambitious thriller. . . . It's well worth sticking with the story; both the hero and the villain are as compelling as the portrayal of Norwegians doing whatever it takes to survive the war and then paying the price. Nesbo bids fair to turn Norway into serious competition for Sweden as Scandinavia's crime center." - Kirkus Reviews "A fine novel. . . . THE REDBREAST certainly ranks with the best of current American crime fiction." - Washington Post Book World "An elegant and complex thriller . . . Ingenious design. . . . Nesbo's book eloquently uses its multiple horrors to advance a disturbing argument: suppressing history is an open invitation for history to repeat itself." - New York Times Book Review "Before he wrote crime thrillers, Jo Nesbø worked as an economist. His smartest investment was Harry Hole, the Oslo police inspector who has made his creator a besteller all over Europe.... A tight, suspenseful mystery.... His narrative is swift and suspenseful. His characters have more depth and ambiguity than those in most thrillers. His plotting is so clever that it begs to be read as self-parody." - Pittsburgh Post-Gazette "The plot lines begin an intricate, inventive intersection. Hole reminds me of Michael Connelly's Harry Bosch, an all-too-human tough guy who is absolutely committed to doing the right thing by any means necessary and damn the consequences. Nesbo winds in strands from previous Harry Hole novels (which have won all sorts of international awards) as he keeps the surprises coming and the suspense high." - New Orleans Times-Picayune "The Devil's Star is a big, ambitious, wildly readable story that pits the protagonist against a serial killer and an enemy within the Oslo police department.... It's compelling. Harry Hole...can be compared to the early, hard-drinking, rebellious Harry Bosch of Michael Connelly's series.... But Nesbo's novels are...more expansive than Connelly's; he's willing to slow the crime-solving process to introduce strange characters and odd corners of Oslo. In this he sometimes recalls Ian Rankin's John Rebus novels with their rich, far-flung portrait of Edinburgh. But Nesbo always returns to the talented, tormented Hole.... A complex plot.... It's a novel worth reading, for its characters, for the quality of its writing and for its wealth of detail." - Washington Post "There's Nordic noir, and then there's Nesbo noir. Jo Nesbo's reputation as the reigning bad boy of Norwegian crime fiction has grown steadily in the USA with the critically acclaimed novels The Redbreast and Nemesis and now The Devil's Star...Hole and the killer eventually converge in this sordid, suspenseful tale that veritably drips with blood and angst." - USA Today "There's Nordic noir, and then there's Nesbo noir. Jo Nesbo's reputation as the reigning bad boy of Norwegian crime fiction has grown steadily in the USA with the critically acclaimed novels The Redbreast and Nemesis and now THE DEVIL'S STAR." - USA Today "Readers new to this whitehot series will be impressed by Nesbø's generous plotting and his insight into dark places in the human soul." - Kirkus Reviews "Superb." - Daily Telegraph (London)
