The author is in fact a curious case himself. First, he graduated from Norwegian School of Economics, worked as a stockbroker for some time, then left it to become a freelance journalist, meanwhile playing in his rock band Di Derre (supposedly extremely popular in Norway). Apart from that, he was a talented football player, if it had not been for a knee injury he might have been a player of his favourite Tottenham Hotspur. His international writing career has started in 1997, when his first novel "The Bat" ("Flaggermusmannen") was published, and has been since Norway's No 1 bestseller. Also, it is the first book of the series that has Harry Hole as a main protagonist. The book, under the name "Człowiek-nietoperz" has been first published in Poland in 2005, but only after several new books and international acclaim, Wydawnictwo Dolnoslaskie decided to re-publish it, and it premiered on October 17, 2012.
The books I read of Nesbø's however, include two of his later works, namely "Snowman" ("Pierwszy śnieg" - "Snømannen") from 2007 and later also "The Redbreast" ("Czerwone gardło" - "Rødstrupe") from 2000. And I think the first one was even better, which is a very good omen for the future. Recommended!
