Norwegian Crime Novelist, Jo Nesbo, Upcoming US Events
Seems that my favorite crime novelist from Oslo will be coming to the US! He has some scheduled events where unfortunately, it looks like he won’t be in my neck of the woods. Damn. Well, if he’s in your area, go meet him!
The website says he’s promoting Nemesis from his most excellent Harry Hole series. Although he does have a new hardcover coming out, The Devil’s Star in March 2010.The three books that are and will be available for US readers are: The Redbreast, Nemesis and The Devil’s Star (in March). Love. Him. I really do. Why? Great plotter. Great writer. Interesting protagonist. Read him. I have. And no, those aren’t affiliate links.
About the author
My name is Keishon and I'm an avid reader of romance, crime fiction and graphic novels. I tend to read all over the map and prefer the older romances from the 90's rather than the new romances of today. I enjoy reading and discussing books and I hope you enjoy your visit here. Some of my favorite authors include but are not limited to Laura Kinsale, Penelope Williamson, Kathleen Eagle, Michael Connelly, Julia Spencer-Fleming and my latest crush is on Nordic crime novelist, Jo Nesbø (start with The Redbreast if interested).

The Devil’s Star (Random House UK) by Jo Nesbø and translated by Don Bartlett, is the third book in the Harry Hole series set in Oslo, Norway.
What can I say? I love this series. For crime fiction fans looking for something new, this series serves up more than just your typical police procedural.

THE REDEEMER (Harry Hole No.4) by Jo Nesbø and translated by Don Bartlett is apart of a series and is published by Random House (UK).
Norwegian crime novelist Jo Nesbø has penned another page-turner. This man is simply brilliant when it comes to plotting and characterizations.
There’s not one boring scene in his books. None. Nada. Nesbø‘s

NYT bestselling author, Chelsea Cain, took the time to graciously answer questions from a reader. She has a new book out, Sweetheart, that is the follow-up to last year’s debut, Heartsick.
I have read and enjoyed both Heartsick and Sweetheart and I am really excited about this series. I was more than thrilled when Chelsea Cain granted me

@Trisha: Thanks, Trisha! I hope he reconsiders it. I want to all of his Harry Hole books no matter where they’re located.

I (obviously) agree with you about Nesbo and the order in which his books were translated/published.
Anyway, I’m catching up on reading PW right now and saw this interview. I figured you’d be interested, especially in the last question, “Are there plans to translate the first two Harry Hole novels, The Batman and Cockroaches, into English?” Nesbo: “The reason I never tried to have them translated is that they are about a Norwegian guy traveling in Australia [The Batman] and Thailand [Cockroaches], exploring these societies and at the same time having them reflect Norwegian society. At the time Harry Hole started to be exported, it seemed a better idea to start with Harry where he belongs, in Oslo. But with the current developing interest for the character, I may consider it.“
