I understand the movie of this book will be shown in New York City at the end of April 2012. I am hoping that we will see a little more of the large detective who plays only a small role in this story but is another unique Nesbo creation. The payoff is fast and furious and a lot of fun. Do not be discouraged by the opening chapters and the rather long setup. 'Nesbo has written a crime novel without Harry Hole! The plot is convoluted as always but very involving especially when you reach the second half of the book. And Clas Greve may turn out to be the worst thing that’s ever happened to Roger Brown. But when he breaks into Greve’s apartment, he finds more than just the painting. At an art opening one night he meets Clas Greve, who is not only the perfect candidate for a major CEO job, but also, perhaps, the answer to his financial woes: Greve just so happens to mention that he owns a priceless Peter Paul Rubens painting that’s been lost since World War II-and Roger Brown just so happens to dabble in art theft. But one career simply can’t support his luxurious lifestyle and his wife’s fledgling art gallery. “If you don’t know Nesbø, it’s time to get with it.” - USA Today Roger Brown is a corporate headhunter, and he’s a master of his profession. A funny, dark, and twisted caper worthy of Quentin Tarantino and the Coen brothers-about an aspiring art thief and the target who’s about to destroy his life.Her stories have appeared in both Ellen Datlow’s and Paula Guran’s Year’s Best anthologies.
