Jo Nesbo - The Jealousy Man - Paperback - Second Hand

Filled with dark thrills, twisted minds and vengeful

hearts, these page-turning short stories from 'the king

of Scandicrime' (FT) and creator of the iconic detective

Harry Hole, will have you reading late into the night.

We meet a Greek detective who has become an expert on jealousy

thanks to some hard-earned lessons from his private life. Far away, in

another country, a taxi driver finds his wife's earring in a car belonging

to his boss and sets out to discover how it ended up there. High in the

skies above, a woman is on board a plane heading to London, about to

end her own life in the wake of her husband's affair with her best friend.

But who is the man sitting next to her?

Nesbo also takes us to the near future, to a dystopian America, where

the upper-class elite is waiting atop a skyscraper to be evacuated while

the masses fight for survival in the streets below. We are introduced to

two best friends on their way to the running of the bulls in Pamplona

when they fall in love with the same girl and, in the epic and vicious

finale, we meet a psychologist who also happens to be an assassin.

In his first ever collection of short stories, this master of crime

writing skilfully draws in the reader as we watch the potentially

fatal outcomes of humanity's most powerful emotions play out

on the page.
