JO NESBO IN NEW ZEALAND NEXT MARCH

 Jo Nesbo is touring New Zealand 6-11 March, 2012.

He will be doing events, (including a session at Writers & Readers Week), and signings in Auckland (6/3), Wellington (10/3), Christchurch (7/3) and Wanaka (8/3). 

HEADHUNTERS, the slick movie based on Nesbo’s most recent eponymous stand-alone thriller, will be released when Jo’s in New Zealand. He’ll also speak at each of the movie premieres.
I have to say I didn't rate the stand-alone Headhunters, (although I reckon it will make a great movie); no give me the Harry Hole titles any day and on that note the good news is that the next one is due soon.
Phantom – the thrilling follow-up to The Leopard……….

Publication date: 3 February, 2012

RRP: NZ$37.99

Synopsis:

Summer. A boy is lying on the floor of an Oslo apartment. He is bleeding and will soon die. In order to place his life and death in some kind of context he begins to tell his story. Outside, the church bells toll.

Autumn. Former police inspector Harry Hole returns to Oslo after three years abroad. He seeks out his old boss at Police Headquarters to request permission to investigate a homicide. But the case is already closed: the young junkie was in all likelihood shot dead by a fellow addict. Yet, Harry is granted permission to visit the boy's alleged killer in jail. There, he meets himself and his own history. What follows is the solitary investigation of what appears to be the first impossible case in Harry Hole's career. And while Harry is searching, the murdered boy continues his story.

A man walks the dark streets of Oslo. The streets are his and he has always been there. He is a phantom.

Yay, bring it on, can't wait to read it................
