The Kingdom by Jo Nesbo
Two brothers. Bound by blood and a lifetime of secrets. Roy thought he’d buried the past for good. Living quietly in his mountain village, he tends the petrol station, keeps to himself, and stays out of trouble. But when his younger brother Carl returns after years abroad, ambitious, charming and full of grand plans, their old rivalry resurfaces. Carl has also brought his wife, Shannon, whose presence unsettles Roy in ways he can’t explain. It‘s not long before the fragile peace between the brothers begins to crack under the weight a shared history too dangerous to uncover. Tense and atmospheric, The Kingdom is a gripping tale of blood, guilt and the fine line between love and betrayal: no one writes darkness like Jo Nesbo. **Jo Nesbo has sold over 60 million books worldwide** A Richard & Judy Book Club pick and a Times Crime Book of the Year 'A stunning novel' Daily Mirror ‘Suspenseful…original…I couldn’t put it down’ Stephen King
I read THE KINGDOM and couldn't put it down..suspenseful...original...this one is special in every way. * Stephen King *
Jo Nesbo remains the king of Scandicrime. * Financial Times *
Superbly written and magnificently chilling * Sunday Mirror *
This being Nesbo there is plenty of deception, death and partial decapitation to come. No Harry Hole this time, but still a sombre delight. There are shades of a Nordic Ripley, or maybe Virginia Andrews on aquavit. Choose your poison * The Times *
The Kingdom is a stunning novel from a storyteller with few equals -- Jon Coates * UK Press Syndication *

Jo Nesbo is one of the world's bestselling crime writers. When commissioned to write a memoir about life on the road with his band, Di Derre, he instead came up with the plot for his first Harry Hole crime novel, The Bat. His books The Leopard, Phantom, Police, The Son, The Thirst, Macbeth and Knife have all since topped the Sunday Times charts. He's an international number one bestseller and his books are published in 51 languages, selling over 60 million copies around the world. Robert Ferguson has lived in Norway since 1983. His translations include Norwegian Wood by Lars Mytting, 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, Norway’s War. A people’s struggle against Nazi tyranny.
