Book description

Ultimately, though, what sets Nesbø apart is his ability to keep the
pages turning with such intellectual dexterity.” -Newsday
THE NEW GLOBAL PHENOMENON
Roger Brown has it all: clever and wealthy, he's at the very top of
his game. And if his job as a headhunter ever gets dull, he has his
sideline as an art thief to keep him busy.
At a gallery opening, his wife introduces him to Clas Greve. Not
only is Greve the perfect candidate for a position that Brown is
recruiting for; he is also in possession of one of the most
sought-after paintings in modern art history.
Roger sees his chance to become rich beyond his wildest dreams, and
starts planning his biggest theft ever. But soon, he runs into trouble
- and it's not long before the hunter becomes the hunted...
Jo Nesbo is a musician, songwriter, economist and author. His first
crime novel featuring Harry Hole was published in Norway in 1997 and was
an instant hit, winning the Glass Key Award for best Nordic crime novel
(an accolade shared with Peter Høeg, Henning Mankell and Stieg
Larsson).
The Leopard,
the sixth of Nesbo's novels to be translated into English, went straight
to the top of the bestseller charts in its first week of publication.
