Cleverly written and effectively composed, and you can easily devour it in one ravishing read. “A highly entertaining, first-rate crime novel, where Nesbø uses his entire register of narrative techniques and tricks to tell a story that is wilder and zanier than anything he has ever written before.” - Dagbladet (Norway) “Nesbø can out-write most of his Scandinavian colleagues. And Clas Greve may turn out to be the worst thing that’s ever happened to Roger Brown. But when he breaks into Greve’s apartment, he finds more than just the painting.

At an art opening one night he meets Clas Greve, who is not only the perfect candidate for a major CEO job, but also, perhaps, the answer to his financial woes: Greve just so happens to mention that he owns a priceless Peter Paul Rubens painting that’s been lost since World War II-and Roger Brown just so happens to dabble in art theft. But one career simply can’t support his luxurious lifestyle and his wife’s fledgling art gallery. Written in a terse, pithy style (and translated in customarily nimble fashion by Don Bartlett), it concentrates on just three characters: two men, and a woman who is an object of desire for both.Roger Brown is a corporate headhunter, and he’s a master of his profession.

If you are a Nesbo aficionado, hungry for another dose of his damaged but sympathetic copper Harry Hole, you will be obliged to adjust your expectations. The following day, an associate in the robbery is discovered dead in his car, and Roger finds himself in the sights of another kind of headhunter.
