Description
**DETECTIVE HOLE IS SOON TO BE A MAJOR NETFLIX SERIES**
When the snow falls, the killing begins.
After the first snowfall, a mother vanishes, leaving behind only a pink scarf wrapped around a snowman’s neck. Detective Harry Hole recognises the signature - a serial killer who hunts when the world turns white.
As the body count rises, Hole’s obsession deepens. His pursuit of the ‘Snowman’ draws him into a web of betrayal, fear and unimaginable cruelty.
Atmospheric, ingenious and bone-chilling, The Snowman is Nesbo at his most ruthless.
**Jo Nesbo has sold over 60 million books worldwide**

Media Reviews
The Snowman is a superb thriller. Jo Nesbo is astonishingly good; he knows how to grab you, by the throat and by the heart
Chillingly adept...creepy, creepy stuff from the very first page * Time Out *
Nesbo handles the tension with aplomb * Metro *
Nesbo's plotting and pared-back prose style effectively keeps the reader hooked as he ramps up the action to a gripping climax * Big Issue *
Hole is all a fictional detective should be...each scene is succinct, dovetails with another, shifts the reader's perspective, and keeps the pace fast and interesting...he ensures his readers keep turning the page to read more * Times Literary Supplement *
Norwegian crime novel that's as gripping as The Silence of the Lambs * The Sunday Times *
The quality of the writing (and its translation) is so impressive * Literary Review *
Nesbo is shaping up to be the next big name in Scandinavian crime fiction... With its tensile-steel narrative grip, this most ambitious of Nesbo's crime novels banishes any fears that the omniscient serial killer scenario has been exhausted * Independent *
With Henning Mankell having written his last Wallander novel and Stieg Larsson no longer with us, I have had to make the decision, to my own satisfaction, on whom to confer the title of best current Nordic writer of crime fiction. After finishing Jo Nesbo's The Snowman, I hesitate no longer. The Norwegian wins... This is crime writing of the highest order, in which the characters are as strong as the story, where an atmosphere of evil permeates, and the tension never lets up * The Times *
There is no doubt in my mind that The Snowman is the best so far of Jo Nesbø's series about Inspector Harry Hole of the Oslo police... The Snowman is a complex, intellectually satisfying plot with many twists and turns... Do yourself a favour and read it * Eurocrime *
