author:  Jo Nesbo 
description: Praise for Jo Nesb and <i>Blood on Snow<br /></i><br />[A] tangled tale with a fateful twist. <i>The Boston Globe <br /></i><br />Nesbs much-heralded gifts are on displayusing his talent for conjuring the chilly Munch-like atmospherics of Oslo in the winter and his eye for grisly, alarming details that slam home the horror of the evil that men do. <i>The New York Times Book Review</i><br /><br />[An] incendiary cocktail of murder, revenge and a hitman with. . . problems. <i>The Independent </i>(London)<br /><br />Dark, intense, and bone chilling. <i>Pittsburgh Post-Gazette</i><br /><br />Quick, entertaining. . . . [An] excursion to a slightly different corner of the criminal underworld, where death and love become tangled together in the cold, dark streets. <i>Paste Magazine</i><br /><br />In the crowded field of Scandinavian crime fiction, Nesbs books stand out. . . . [He] likes to rip plots up . . . to play with the conventions of his genre. <i>The New Yorker<br /></i><br />Noiry and pulpy: Nesbs gorgeously rendered images of snow, and of the titular blood on snow . . . are crying out to be filmed. <i>The Guardian </i>(London)<br /><br />[<i>Blood on Snow</i>] moves along swiftly in the carefully controlled voice of the killer. And before you know it, youre in the middle of one of the wildest scenes in recent crime fiction . . . where theres hardly any place to duck, just as in this entertaining novel, when the bullets fly. <i>All Things Considered</i>/NPR<br /><br />Nesb is a master storyteller, gripping the reader from the first page. <i>Daily Express</i> (London)<br /><br />I am the worlds greatest living crime writer. [Jo Nesb] is a man who is snapping at my heels like a rabid pit bull poised to take over my mantle when I dramatically pre-decease him. James Ellroy<br /><br />Nesb explores the darkest criminal minds with grim delight and puts his killers where you least expect to find them. . . . His novels are maddeningly addictive. <i>Vanity Fair</i>
