PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Two thrillers with the same title one a contemporary Norwegian crime novel, the other a historical featuring legendary lawman Eliot Ness are due in the new year.NemesisJo Nesb , trans. from the Norwegian by Don Bartlett. Harper, (480p) When a bank teller is shot during a holdup at the start of Norwegian bestseller Nesb 's beautifully executed heist drama, Oslo Insp. Harry Hole investigates, along with Beate L nn, a young detective with the ability to remember every face she's ever seen. Meanwhile, Harry receives a call from Anna Bethsen, a woman he hasn't seen in years. After he meets Anna, recovering alcoholic Harry awakens the next morning with a hangover and the news that Anna is dead, apparently by her own hand. While Harry quietly looks into Anna's death, he and Beate uncover ties in their bank robbery case to one of Norway's most notorious bank robbers, who's currently in prison. The deeper Harry digs, the clearer it becomes that Anna's death is linked to the robbery. Expertly weaving plot lines from Hole's last outing to feature the inspector, The Redbreast (2007), Nesb delivers a lush crime saga that will leave U.S. readers clamoring for the next installment.
