About
From the modern master of Nordic noir comes a shocking new thriller set in contemporary Minneapolis, in which a detective and a crime writer conduct parallel investigations, six years apart, into a series of puzzling murders.
"Jo Nesbo is one of today's most interesting thriller writers." -Lee Child
Minneapolis, Minnesota, 2016. When a small-time criminal and gun dealer is shot down in the street, all signs point to Tomas Gomez, a quiet man with a mysterious past-and deep connections to a notorious gang-who has seemingly vanished into thin air. Other murders soon follow, and it appears Gomez is only getting started. Meanwhile, Bob Oz, a down-and-out suspended police officer with a dubious past of his own, becomes fascinated by the case, obsessed with the notion of hunting down a serial killer who only he can understand, a killer with a story as tragic as his own.
Minneapolis, Minnesota, 2022. An enigmatic Norwegian man with ties to Minneapolis-a self-described crime writer-has travelled to the United States to research the Gomez case, in the hopes of writing a book about it. But as his investigation progresses, the writer's seemingly neutral position reveals itself to be more complicated than it initially seems.
Wolf Hour is a twisty and unforgettable thriller in classic Jo Nesbo style, which bears out Vanity Fair's observation that "Nesbo explores the darkest criminal minds with grim delight and puts his killers where you least expect to find them. . . . His novels are maddeningly addictive." JO NESBO is a #1 New York Times and Globe and Mail bestselling author whose books have sold 60 million copies worldwide and have been translated into fifty-one languages. In addition to the Harry Hole crime series, his novels include Blood Ties, The Night House, The Kingdom, Macbeth, Blood on Snow and The Son. He is the recipient of the Raymond Chandler Award for lifetime achievement. He lives in Oslo.
Translator ROBERT FERGUSON has lived in Norway since 1983. His translations include the four novels in Torkil Damhaug's Oslo Crime Files series and Tales of Love and Loss by Knut Hamsun. He is the author of several biographies, a Viking history and, most recently, The Cabin in the Mountains: A Norwegian Odyssey.
