Before becoming a crime writer, Nesbo played football for Norway’s premier league team Molde, but his dream of playing professionally for Spurs was dashed when he tore ligaments in his knee at the age of eighteen. After three years military service he attended business school and formed the band Di Derre (‘Them There’). They topped the charts in Norway, but Nesbo continued working as a financial analyst, crunching numbers during the day and gigging at night. When commissioned by a publisher to write a memoir about life on the road with his band, he instead came up with the plot for his first Harry Hole crime novel, The Bat. a b c d e f g h i j k "Jo Nesbo." Contemporary Authors Online. Gale, 2018. Retrieved via Gale In Context: Biography database, 30 November 2019.Nesbø revels in his knowing cliche of the tortured criminal soul, in Olav’s apparent slowness but secret brilliance.

As usual, he didn’t ask any questions. Either he’d learned to trust me in the course of the four years I’d been working as a fixer for him, or else he didn’t actually want to know. The job was done, so why would a man like him trouble himself with that sort of thing when what he was paying for was to have fewer problems? Hoffmann asked me to go down to the office the next day – he said he had a new job for me.

With plotlines aplenty and a compelling cast of characters, this is a hot read for a cold evening. My Weekly Leonardo DiCaprio tilknyttet Nesbø-filmatisering". Dagbladet (in Norwegian) . Retrieved 22 October 2013.
