Jo Nesbø, author of The Kingdom

Roy has never left the quiet mountain town he grew up in, unlike his little brother Carl, who couldn't wait to get out and escape his troubled past. But Carl has big plans for his hometown. And when he returns with a mysterious new wife and a business opportunity that seems too good to be true, simmering tensions begin to surface and unexplained deaths in the town's past come under new scrutiny. Soon powerful players set their sights on taking the brothers down by exposing their role in the town's sordid history. As the body count rises, Roy's loyalty to family is tested. And then he finds himself inextricably drawn to Carl's wife, Shannon, an attraction that will have devastating consequences.
