Summary

**From the global crime sensation comes a NEW gritty standalone thriller**

Nesbo deserves to be crowned the king of all crime thriller writers' Sunday Express


Every killer has a story.


When a small-time crook is shot down in the street, all signs point to a lone wolf, a sniper who has seemingly vanished into thin air.


To tell it he needs to get caught.


Down-and-out detective, Bob Oz is sitting in a dive bar in Minneapolis when he gets the call: there’s been another murder, and they don’t think it will be the last.


And this wolf wants the world to know...


As the body count grows, Oz suspects that something more sinister is at play. And the closer he gets the more disturbed he becomes. Because the serial killer reminds him of someone: himself.


He’s only just getting started.


Wolf Hour is a gritty, standalone thriller jam-packed with unexpected twists, dark secrets, and bubbling personal and political tension, from crime writing’s king of the cliffhanger.
