19 September 2016:
In news that will delight his millions of fans worldwide, Jo Nesbo
confirms that his hardboiled Oslo detective Harry Hole will return in
his latest novel, THE THIRST, to be published by Harvill Secker in May
2017.
THE
THIRST continues the story of #1 bestseller POLICE, Harry Hole’s last
outing in 2013, which saw the maverick cop protecting those closest to
him from a killer wreaking
revenge on the police. THE THIRST will see Harry drawn back to the
Oslo police force when a serial killer begins targeting Tinder daters
with a signature killing method that leads Harry on the hunt of a
nemesis from his past. It is the eleventh instalment
in Jo Nesbo’s bestselling crime fiction series, which have sold over 30
million copies worldwide and are published in 50 languages.
Jo Nesbo says:
‘I
was always coming back to Harry, he is my soul mate. But it is a dark
soul, so it is - as always - both a thrill and a chilling, emotionally
exhausting experience.
But Harry and the story make it worth the sleepless nights.’
THE
THIRST is one of several treats in store next year for the millions of
Jo Nesbo and Harry Hole fans. In January 2017, Harvill Secker will
publish a 20th
anniversary edition of THE BAT, Jo Nesbo’s first Harry Hole novel, with
a new introduction by the author. In October 2017, Michael Fassbender
will star as Harry Hole in the film adaptation of
The Snowman, in which Nesbo’s detective tracks a serial killer murdering unfaithful women and leaving a snowman behind as a calling card.
The film will be directed by Tomas Alfredson (Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy,
Let the Right One In).
Liz Foley, Harvill Secker Publishing Director, says:
‘2017 will be the year of Harry
Hole! We are delighted to be bringing the millions of Jo Nesbo fans a
thrilling new Harry Hole novel in
The Thirst and celebrating Harry’s first adventure with our special anniversary edition of
The Bat, as well as watching Harry’s first foray onto the big screen with the film adaptation of
The Snowman next autumn. It’s going to be brilliant to be back in Harry’s world again.’
