About this ebook

From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Cockroaches, Olav Johansen is a walking contradiction: a cold-blooded killer with a heart of gold. This was not a problem—until he fell for his boss’s wife….

“Nesbø’s much-heralded gifts are on display.” —The New York Times Book Review

Olav is a fixer for a high-profile crime kingpin in 1970s Oslo. He easily takes care of anyone who causes trouble for his boss. But he is more complicated than he seems. Olav's latest job puts him at the pinnacle of his trade, but it may become his greatest mistake: It turns out that the more you know about your boss's business, the more your boss might want you fixed yourself—especially if you're falling for his wife.

Don't miss Jo Nesbo's new thriller, Killing Moon, coming soon!

Ratings and reviews

I should have read the reviews first. A decent plot, though predictable. I don't care for short stories either. So, I was disappointed, especially since I have enjoyed his novels.

Olav? A bit confusing 'cause Olav Hole is Harry Hole's father. But if it happened in 1970, might it be a different Olav.

This is the first book I have read by Joe Nesbo. It was real page turner. I will probably try reading some of his other books.
