When you neither have looks, money nor charm, you must work harder than the competition. It isn’t more complicated than that. So that’s what Bob Oz does. Both as a detective at the Minneapolis police force, and when he’s picking up women.

Bob Oz never gives up. Not even when he’s suspended for violence on the job. When arms dealer Marco Dante is the victim of an assassination attempt, Bob refuses to follow the police chief’s guidelines. There’s something about it that reminds Bob of the case he’d rather forget.

In Jo Nesbø’s new standalone, Wolf Hour, he sets the action in the American Midwest in 2016. A hard-boiled police novel in the best Nesbø style – from an America that’s on the edge of a precipice.
