About the Book

Following from Jo Nesbo's electrifying international best-sellers "The Snowman" and "The Leopard," now comes "Phantom," which plunges the brilliant, deeply troubled, now former police officer Harry Hole into a full-tilt investigation on which his own tenuous future will come to depend.
When Harry left Oslo again for Hong Kong--fleeing the traumas of life as a cop--he thought he was there for good. But then the unthinkable happened. The son of the woman he loved, lost, and still loves is arrested for murder: Oleg, the boy Harry helped raise but couldn't help deserting when he fled. Harry has come back to prove that Oleg is not a killer. Barred from rejoining the police force, he sets out on a solitary, increasingly dangerous investigation that takes him deep into the world of the most virulent drug to ever hit the streets of Oslo (and the careers of some of the city's highest officials), and into the maze of his own past, where he will find the wrenching truth that finally matters to Oleg, and to himself.

About the Author :
JO NESBo is a musician, songwriter, economist, and author. He has won the Glass Key Award for best Nordic crime novel. His other Harry Hole novels include "The Redbreast, Nemesis, The Devil's Star, The Snowman, " and "The Leopard." He lives in Oslo. Translated from the Norwegian by Don Bartlett.

Review :
"Intricate, breakneck plotting makes for an addictive page-turner in "Phantom" . . . Brings to mind Michael Connelly's tortured LAPD detective Harry Bosch." --"Los Angeles Times"
"The Oslo depiction adds a contemporary heft to "Phantom "that expands Nesbo's reach . . . Suggests more than a few parallels to the great television series 'The Wire'; perhaps it is one master's nod to another." --"Boston Globe"
""Phantom" will maintain Jo Nesbo's unstoppable momentum." --"The Independent" (UK)
"Easily the most troubling and heartfelt of this excellent series, "Phantom "is one of the finest suspense novels to come out of Scandinavia to date." --"BookPage"
"Nesbo's true subject is the deterioration of the social fabric that has made Oslo such a civilized place." --"New York Times Book Review"
" "
"A compulsive page-turner . . . ["Phantom"] is expertly plotted and structured, with all the requisite twists and turns to keep the reader guessing. The latter half of the book is also relentlessly paced, reading at times like a Scandinavian police version of the Jason Bourne series." --"The Independent on Sunday "(UK)
"Far more than a procedural . . . Personal and topical and hip, as usual." --"Pittsburgh Post-Gazette"
" "
"Nesbo has written a cunningly constructed thriller . . . running at Hollywood summer blockbuster speed." --"Richmond Times-Dispatch"
"Superb on every level . . . Nesbo begins with an emotionally gripping family drama but surrounds it with an elaborate, beautifully constructed plot involving [a] new drug and the ruthless man who rules its distribution. The subplots, plot twists (especially the last one), and the fully fleshed supporting characters--many of whom could drive their own novels--are all testament to Nesbo's remarkable talent, but finally, it all comes back to Harry and the pain he endures in trying to carve out a separate peace from a world and a past that won't let him go." --"Booklist "(star

#1 NATIONAL BESTSELLER (Norway)

"Jo Nesbo is a master of his craft.... World-class crime writing. Phantom is a crime novel that pleases on every level."
--"Dagbladet" (Norway)

"Harry Hole, better than ever."
--"Dagsavisen" (Norway)

"Possibly the best in the series."
--"Dagens Naeringsliv" (Norway)

"Masterfully done."
--"Vart Land" (Norway)

"With a steady hand, Jo Nesbo deftly ties together the different narratives, steering the novel towards its goal with great precision.... The fact that Harry Hole is a character in constant development makes the book even more interesting."
--"VG" (Norway)

"I'm happy to announce that all expectations are met.... What's most salient is Jo Nesbo's intense, eloquent yet terse prose. The same goes for his talent as a storyteller, as well as his eye for narrative construction."
--"NRK" (Norway)

Praise for Jo Nesbo:

"For those with a Stieg Larsson-shaped hole on their bedside table, fellow Scandinavian Jo Nesbo's star has been rising for some time."
"--The Guardian"

"If you like Michael Connelly, you're going to like Jo Nesbo."
""--"ELLE "(France)

"The brilliance of Nesbo: he takes the simple and cozy, and transforms it into the terrorizing.... The characters are marvellous, the plot is tight and the setting perfect--just at the edge of a Norwegian winter--and the concept original."
""--"The Globe and Mail"
