New Releases by Jo Nesbo

From the modern master of Nordic suspense comes an explosive novel about a community in crisis and two brothers on the verge of losing everything they’ve worked so hard to achieve. By all accounts, Carl and Roy Opgard are doing quite well for themselves. Or at least they’re doing as well as can be expected in a small town like Os. Carl manages the area’s swanky and successful spa and hotel, while Roy runs a nearby gas station and harbors grand plans to build it out into an entire amusement park, complete with a roller coaster. But when news breaks about a new highway to be built nearby, bypassing Os and leaving the town cutoff and isolated, it’s clear that something has to be done . . . even if the methods are bound to be dirty. Fortunately, Carl and Roy have experience with just that kind of work. Meanwhile, the town sheriff has gotten his hands on new technology that will enable him to take a deeper look at a slate of unsolved murders from years past—including that of his own father. And just as the sheriff reopens his investigation, the death toll begins to climb. It’s like Roy says about his roller coaster: “Once it’s rolling, it’s too late to get off.” Blood Ties is a tense, compulsively readable tour de force about loyalty, family ties, and love that is as destructive as it is powerful.

Tras cuatro años de abstinencia, Jo Nesbø vuelve a la serie que lo ha coronado como «el rey del thriller» (Financial Times) «La espera ha merecido la pena. [...] Es el mejor de los nórdicos con mucha diferencia: engánchense a Harry. Es de los antihéroes que crean adicción». -Juan Carlos Galindo, El País Harry Hole se ha mudado a Los Ángeles, ya nada le retiene en Noruega después de perder todo lo que daba sentido a su vida. Allí lo rescata de su deriva alcohólica Lucille, una veterana actriz de cine que, a cambio de su protección, le ofrece un techo, un traje a medida y unos zapatos de lujo. Mientras, en Oslo, ha aparecido muerta una chica a la que buscaban hacía días, después de acudir a una fiesta organizada por Markus Røed, un magnate inmobiliario que era su sugar daddy. Otra joven relacionada con él sigue en paradero desconocido, por lo que la policía estrecha el cerco sobre el millonario. También les inquieta un detalle inusual en la cabeza de la primera víctima: parece la firma de alguien que desea volver a matar. Dispuesto a limpiar su nombre, Røed envía a un emisario para contratar a Hole como investigador privado. Es tan suculenta la recompensa que con ella Harry podrá ayudar a Lucille a librarse de una peligrosa banda mexicana. Sin embargo, solo tendrá diez días para volver a su país y resolver el caso. El reloj avanza y algo ominoso, infeccioso como un parásito, flota en el ambiente: se acerca un eclipse de luna que pronto bañará de rojo la ciudad de Oslo.

This killer will get inside your head. • Brilliant rogue police investigator Harry Hole is back, this time as an outsider assembling his own team to help find a serial killer who is murdering young women in Oslo in the next novel in the New York Times best-selling series. "One of today's most interesting thriller writers." —Lee Child, author of the #1 New York Times best-selling Jack Reacher series THE HUNT IS ON AND THE POLICE ARE RUNNING OUT OF TIME. Two young women are missing, their only connection a party they both attended, hosted by a notorious real-estate magnate. When one of the women is found murdered, the police discover an unusual signature left by the killer, giving them reason to suspect he will strike again. THEY'RE FACING A KILLER UNLIKE ANY OTHER. And exposing him calls for a detective like no other. But the legendary Harry Hole is gone—fired from the force, drinking himself to oblivion in Los Angeles. It seems that nothing can entice him back to Oslo. Until the woman who saved Harry's life is put in grave danger, and he has no choice but to return to the city that haunts him and track down the murderer. CATCHING HIM WILL PUSH HARRY TO THE LIMIT. He'll need to bring together a misfit team of former operatives to accomplish what he can't do alone: stop an unstoppable killer. But as the evidence mounts, it becomes clear that there is more to this case than meets the eye...

«Nesbø es un narrador magistral que atrapa al lector desde la primera página y lo mantiene en suspense hasta el emocionante final». –Daily Express Roger Brown parece tenerlo todo. Con su ambición y carisma ha conseguido ser líder en su trabajo como headhunter para empresas, comprar una lujosa mansión, casarse con una mujer culta y atractiva que gestiona una galería de arte... y sin embargo, Brown no puede escapar a su codicia. El deseo de riqueza y su obsesión por lo bello le ha llevado a convertirse en ladrón de obras de arte, y cuando conoce a Clas Greve, cree ver en él un blanco perfecto. Greve es el director ejecutivo que estaba buscando contratar para una empresa y además posee algo que Brown desea intensamente: un cuadro de Rubens. Brown prepara el robo con cuidado solo para descubrir que el crimen que planea es el menor de sus problemas. Con una trama impecable y unos giros sorprendentes, Jo Nesbø construye un thriller que, sin pertenecer a la serie que le hizo famoso, está a la altura de las mejores novelas protagonizadas por el inspector Harry Hole.

But when he breaks into Greve’s apartment, he finds more than just the painting. And Clas Greve may turn out to be the worst thing that’s ever happened to Roger Brown.
