**From the global crime sensation comes a NEW gritty standalone thriller**

This killer has a story.

When a small-time crook is shot down in the streets of Minneapolis, all signs point to a lone wolf, a sniper who has vanished into thin air.

To tell it, he needs to get caught.

When the shooter strikes again, it’s maverick detective Bob Oz they call in to crack the case. They don’t think this victim will be the last.

And this wolf wants the world to know...

As the body count rises, Oz suspects something even more sinister is at play. And the closer he gets to the truth, the more disturbed he becomes. Because this serial killer reminds him of someone dangerous: himself.

He’s only just getting started.

Wolf Hour is a gritty standalone thriller packed with unexpected twists, dark secrets and bubbling personal and political tension, from the king of the cliffhanger.

Electrifying

Hooks you in immediately, there's an unnerving air of suspense throughout and meticulous attention to detail - the clever parallel timelines providing just enough clues to keep the pages turning. But, of course, it wouldn't be a Nesbo novel without twists no one sees coming

A taut standalone from the king of Nordic noir

Nordic noir master Nesbø sets his sights on the American Midwest in this exquisitely plotted, darkly funny thriller that tackles gun control, police corruption, and psychological trauma in contemporary Minneapolis ... Readers will have no doubt they’re in the hands of a brilliant storyteller. This soars

[Wolf Hour] is a pleasure to read with its engaging, easy-twisting plot, its cerebral touches, and characters like Liza, a bartender whose teasing scenes with Oz are highlights. /…/ Another standout standalone from the author of the Harry Hole series

Nesbø has crafted a powerhouse here, a profoundly human exploration of loneliness and grief driven by a twisting procedural plot and grisly shocks. Readers of Nordic noir will find Nesbø’s taut narrative and social commentary deeply infused with emotional depth. Highly recommended for newcomers seeking startling perspectives on justice, such as those found in Dennis Lehane’s and Richard Price’s works

Parallel characters. Like two sides to one coin.

Not certain I enjoyed the visiting cousin’s role in the story flow- also, it wasn’t the greatest opening tone to the book.. It took some getting used to. I enjoyed the story structure, and finished it in under 5 days. Jo’s characters never disappoint. I was captivated at each scene- it was like unwrapping a gift slowly.

How the story proceeded!

Quite many characters in the story and yet during one chapter there were changes of the character many times and only reader. It was a bit confusing. Otherwise the story itself was quite good. Yet it didn't reach the level of Nesbo's most classic books.
