He live up to his last name as he lives his life out in a ‘hole’ in Hong Kong, evading the triads over gambling debts, self-medicating with opium (so predictable, opium = Hong Kong, China, obvious?) to stop drinking. The story begins with Hole being recalled by Kaja Solsen, a beautiful female officer from Kripos (the Norwegian special police division) from Hong Kong, where he has fled after his last traumatic case, The Snowman. 😉 I’m kidding, of course not but there isn’t a clue as to “Jo” was short for anything more classy, like Joquain or Jostein (like Jostein Gaarder)? Anyway, rave reviews about his books so I thought I should give it a go and start with his latest book, The Leopard.
The only reason I’m intrigued with Jo Nesbø is because his nick is the same as mine and he is probably called Joanna.
