Dán několikrát zatočil vlasy, jedním krokem se odrazil, rozmáchl se paží podél těla jako hráč bowlingu a hlavu pustil.

From the internationally acclaimed author of the Harry Hole novels—a fast, tight, darkly lyrical stand-alone novel that has at its center the perfectly sympathetic antihero: an Oslo contract killer who draws us into an unexpected meditation on death and love.

Success!

Hoffmann said that was good. As usual, he didn’t ask any questions. Either he’d learned to trust me in the course of the four years I’d been working as a fixer for him, or else he didn’t actually want to know. The job was done, so why would a man like him trouble himself with that sort of thing when what he was paying for was to have fewer problems? Hoffmann asked me to go down to the office the next day – he said he had a new job for me. Milne, Richard (21 April 2017). " Jo Nesbo, the Norwegian crime writer, on his climbing addiction".

The Evening Post had said that if the cold carried on like this until New Year, 1977 would be the coldest year since the war, and that we’d remember it as the start of the new ice age scientists had been predicting for a while. But what did I know? All I knew was that the man standing in front of me would soon be dead. There was no mistaking the way his body was shaking. He was one of the Fisherman’s men. It was nothing personal. I told him as much before he collapsed, leaving a smear of blood down the wall. If I ever get shot, I’d rather it was personal. I didn’t say it to stop his ghost coming after me – I don’t believe in ghosts. I just couldn’t think of anything else to say. Obviously I could have just kept my mouth shut. That’s what I usually do, after all. So there must have been something that made me so talkative all of a sudden. Maybe it was because there were only a few days to go before Christmas. I’ve heard that people are supposed to feel closer to each other around Christmas. But what do I know? Every so often she felt scared at the strength of her own love.

Blood was dripping down onto the snow from the bottom of his shirt. I don’t actually know a lot about snow – or much else, for that matter – but I’ve read that snow crystals formed when it’s really cold are completely different from wet snow, heavy flakes, or the crunchy stuff. That it’s the shape of the crystals and the dryness of the snow that make the haemoglobin in the blood retain that deep red colour. Either way, the snow under him made me think of a king’s robe, all purple and lined with ermine, like the drawings in the book of Norwegian folk tales my mother used to read to me. She liked fairy tales and kings. That’s probably why she named me after a king. Doktor Proktors Tidsbadekaret (2008) (English: Doctor Proctor's Fart Powder: Bubble in the Bathtub) (2011) In the crowded field of Scandinavian crime fiction, Nesbø’s books stand out….
