"Many authors know how to make the hairs on the back of your neck stand up. Jo Nesbø's one of the few who keeps them there" Linwood Barclay

"This is chilling, spectacular stuff, and anyone looking for serious, and seriously compelling, crime writing need look no further" Mark Billingham

"Jo Nesbø is my new favourite thriller writer and Harry Hole my new hero" Michael Connelly

Praise for The Snowman

'Every now and then, a truly exceptional crime novel comes along, something so gripping that it recalls classics such as The Silence of the Lambs. This superb novel... deserves comparison with the first volume of Stieg Larsson's Millennium trilogy.' Sunday Times

'With his fury at official corruption, and reckless brutal integrity, this rebel Oslo cop looks well placed to secure the loyalty of Stieg Larsson fans' Independent, Boyd Tonkin

'With Henning Mankell having written his last Wallander novel and Stieg Larsson no longer with us, I have had to make the decision on whom to confer the title of best current Nordic writer of crime fiction. After finishing Jo Nesbø's The Snowman, I hesitate no longer. The Norwegian wins. ... This is crime writing of the highest order, in which the characters are as strong as the story, where an atmosphere of evil permeates, and the tension never lets up' The Times, Marcel Berlins

'Nesbø is shaping up to be the next big name in Scandinavian crime fiction, now that Mankell is on the point of retiring and Stieg Larsson is hors de combat' Independent, Barry Forshaw
