*A STUNNING NEW STANDALONE THRILLER FROM THE AUTHOR OF THE BESTSELLING HARRY HOLE SERIES*


In the far north of Norway a man lives a peaceful existence. However one day his younger brother, always the more successful and charming of the two, turns up to visit, accompanied by his new wife. It soon turns out that the little brother is not quite as angelic as he seems.

Set in a small town filled with secrets, this compellingly dark new thriller from the Sunday Times number one bestseller has a plot as explosive and multi-layered as any of the Harry Hole novels.

Critics Review

  • 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
