Norwegian crime and thriller writer Jo Nesbo (http://jonesbo.com/) will need no introduction to his legions of devoted readers. In this latest thriller, Blood on Snow, we read the tender story of Olav. He is known as an extremely talented “fixer” to a handful of Oslo’s most powerful crime bosses. But Olav is also an unusually complicated fixer. He has a capacity for love that is as far-reaching as is his gift for murder. He is our straightforward, calm-in-the-face-of-crisis narrator with a storyteller’s hypnotic knack for fantasy. He has an “innate talent for subordination” but running through his veins is a “virus” born of the power over life and death. And while his latest job puts him at the pinnacle of his trade, it may be mutating into his greatest mistake. How, after all, do you kill the wife of your boss if you’re in love with her? Oh! what a tangled web has Nesbo woven!
