The Leopard by Jo Nesbo.. Oh, you dark lovers of the Nordic psychopath novel: Here's your latest treat. If you can't get your Mankell fix, and since the tattoo guy is dead, try a Nesbo. – Joel Gardner, LitSnap Editor |

"In The Leopard, Nesbø deploys all the key ingredients of a cracking good thriller with expertise and verve. The ticking clock, the tension expertly ratcheted ever upwards, the changing scenery, the constantly shifting goalposts, and his effortless, triumphant outpacing of the reader’s ability to guess what’s going to happen will keep you gripped to the last page." – The Guardian "Nesbø knows exactly what he’s doing [in] this gripping, intricately plotted tale . . . Like all intelligent crime fiction, this book is not only about multiple murders by heinous means. It is also about legacies, most specifically about the good and evil, love and hate, passed from one generation to the next. This vivid, violent novel promises to speak on many levels to many readers." – Library Journal |
