After finishing Jo Nesbø's The Snowman, I hesitate no longer. "Jo Nesbø is my new favorite thriller writer and Harry Hole my new hero." -Michael Connelly "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. Fiercely suspenseful, its characters brilliantly realized, its atmosphere permeated with evil, The Snowman is the electrifying work of one of the best crime writers of our time. As his investigation deepens, something else emerges: he is becoming a pawn in an increasingly terrifying game whose rules are devised-and constantly revised-by the killer. Hole suspects a link between a menacing letter he's received and the disappearance of Jonas's mother-and of perhaps a dozen other women, all of whom went missing on the day of a first snowfall. Around its neck is his mother's pink scarf. Out his window, in the cold moonlight, he sees the snowman that inexplicably appeared in the yard earlier in the day. A boy named Jonas wakes in the night to find his mother gone. Internationally acclaimed crime writer Jo Nesb 's antihero police investigator, Harry Hole, is back: in a bone-chilling thriller that will take Hole to the brink of insanity.
