HARDCOVER EDITION WITH AUTHOR'S SIGNATURE 60 MILLION COPIES WORLDWIDE FAMILY ABOVE ALL. WHATEVER THE COST. Brothers Carl and Roy Opgard have succeeded in their lives. Or at least as much as a small town like Os allowed them. Carl runs the area's elegant hotel-spa, and Roy runs the gas station and plans a theme park with a roller coaster. When they learn that a new highway is to be built next to Os, they decide they must do something to prevent it, even if they have to play dirty. Fortunately, the brothers have extensive experience in scheming and aren't afraid to get their hands dirty. Meanwhile, the sheriff has found new evidence and believes he can prove the brothers' involvement in past murders. And there will be more. The Kingdom is an ambitious novel full of suspense, speaking of loyalty, family ties, strong love, and the battle against authority. THE PRESS WROTE Brothers Roy and Carl Opgard return in the addictive and chilling sequel to The Kingdom. Bestseller Jo Nesbo masterfully immerses readers into the soul of a charming killer, infusing the scenes of carnage with pop culture references and disarming humor reminiscent of Harry Hole. The result is a terrifying noir with plenty of dark humor that will haunt readers for a long time. Publishers Weekly In the second book featuring the Norwegian brothers (after The Kingdom, 2020), Nesbo raises the level of suspense. A well-written story that captivates readers, where Roy's ruthless logic clashes with a barrage of threats, emotional ties, and conflicting aspirations. Readers will remember it vividly even if a long time passes since they read its last pages. Booklist Nesbo's latest book is unexpectedly comedic… A dark and highly entertaining thriller. Kirkus Reviews The most charming Nesbo. Dagblatet The king of crime literature. Dagsavisen Nesbo never ceases to amaze us. Nettavisen
