title: The Devil's Star: A Harry Hole Novel (Harry Hole Series)
author:  Jo Nesbo 
description: &#8220;There&#8217;s Nordic noir, and then there&#8217;s Nesbo noir. Jo Nesbo&#8217;s reputation as the reigning bad boy of Norwegian crime fiction has grown steadily in the USA with the critically acclaimed novels The Redbreast and Nemesis and now THE DEVIL&#8217;S STAR.&#8221; (USA Today)<br /><br />&#8220;Readers new to this whitehot series will be impressed by Nesb&#248;&#8217;s generous plotting and his insight into dark places in the human soul.&#8221; (Kirkus Reviews)<br /><br />&#8220;Astonishingly confident. . . . The Devil&#8217;s Star scores with an intriguing plot and Nesbo&#8217;s mastery of pace and tension.&#8221; (The Times (London))<br /><br />&#8220;Jo Nesb&#248; is my new favorite thriller writer and Harry Hole my new hero.&#8221; (Michael Connelly)<br /><br />&#8220;Superb.&#8221; (Daily Telegraph (London))<br /><br />&#8220;Nesb has a knack for Euro noir.&#8221; (Entertainment Weekly)<br /><br />&#8220;Nobody can delve into the dark, twisted mind of a murderer better than a Scandinavian thriller writer.&#8221; (Vogue)<br /><br />&#8220;The dense plot is supremely detailed. . . . A crisp, clean translation. . . . Satisfying.&#8221; (New York Times Book Review)<br /><br />&#8220;Readers now can savor NEMESIS. . . . Nesbo&#8217;s storytelling abilities are incomparable. NEMESIS is crime novel as art form and great entertainment.&#8221; (USA Today)<br /><br />&#8220;A well-crafted rollercoaster of a book. . . . Nesbo sets a cracking pace, the shambolic Hole is exasperating and endearing by turns, and a series of spectacular plot twists lead to a thrilling finale. Highly recommended.&#8221; (The Guardian (London))
