Olav lives the lonely life of a fixer.
When you 'fix' people for a living - terminally - it's hard to get close to anyone.

But there are two problems.
She's his boss's wife.
And Olav's just been hired to kill her.
*JO NESBO HAS SOLD 50 MILLION BOOKS WORLDWIDE*
Jo Nesbo is one of the world's bestselling crime writers, with The Leopard, Phantom, Police, The Son, The Thirst, Macbeth and Knife all topping the Sunday Times bestseller charts. He's an international number one bestseller and his books are published in 50 languages, selling over 50 million copies around the world.
Before becoming a crime writer, Nesbo played football for Norway's premier league team Molde, but his dream of playing professionally for Spurs was dashed when he tore ligaments in his knee at the age of eighteen. After three years military service he attended business school and formed the band Di Derre ('Them There'). They topped the charts in Norway, but Nesbo continued working as a financial analyst, crunching numbers during the day and gigging at night. When commissioned by a publisher to write a memoir about life on the road with his band, he instead came up with the plot for his first Harry Hole crime novel, The Bat.

Deserves to be a smash... A perfectly pitched thriller * Sunday Mirror *
[An] incendiary cocktail of murder, revenge and a hitman with multiple problems * Independent *
Nesbo is in bracing form...gripping * Sun *
Striking in its simplicity... Nesbo is a writer at the top of his game who continues to amaze in new and confounding ways * Daily Express *
The undisputed king of Scandinavian crime fiction...I am so used to the energetic plot twists, fiendish violence and addictive verbosity of Nesbo's writing that Blood on Snow, with its simplicity, brevity and unlikely poetry, comes as a welcome antidote. It is set in the 1970s, an era of increasing fascination to Nesbo, and has a first-person narrative that provides a window into its protagonist's lonely, tortured soul * The Times *
