Summary
JO NESBØ SIGUE SIENDO EL REY DE LA NOVELA NEGRA INTERNACIONAL Y CON EL HOMBRE CELOSO VOLVERÁ A SORPRENDERTE
UNA DE LOS 15 LIBROS QUE TE VAN A ENGANCHAR ESTE VERANO SEGÚN TELVA, POR EL GANADOR DEL PREMIO PEPE CARVALHO 2024
Con 50 millones de lectores y traducido a 50 idiomas, vuelve el maestro del thriller que conquistó a crítica y lectores gracias a la serie del detective Harry Hole
Jo Nesbø es conocido por sus novelas repletas de emociones fuertes y personajes arrastrados por cones subterráneas, por su manera de retratar los rincones más oscuros del alma humana y de subir los escalones del suspense. Todos esos ingredientes, que lo han coronado como el rey del thriller, están presentes en los doce relatos de este volumen, tan apasionantes como insólitos.
Un detective experto en celos que debe dar caza a un hombre sospechoso de haber asesinado a su hermano. Un padre afligido que se plantea cuál es el lugar de la venganza en una sociedad que ha sucumbido a los más bajos instintos. Dos amigos que, de camino a los Sanfermines en Pamplona, se enamoran de la misma chica. Un basurero que, mientras se recupera de una profunda resaca, tiene que averiguar qué pasó exactamente la noche anterior. La historia de dos pasajeros en un avión entre los que surge la chispa del amor... o quizá un sentimiento más siniestro.
Estas son solo algunas de las piezas de relojería que, a modo de pequeñas novelas criminales, confirman que Jo Nesbø es uno de los narradores más satrevidos de nuestro tiempo.

«Un entretenimiento más que notable». Juan Carlos Galindo, El País
«El maestro del thriller moderno». Santiago Díaz
«Relatos repletos de emociones poderosas que se llevan por delante a sus personajes y a los que les celos e ira, con muertes y giros inesperados, pero también relatos sobre la ambición y el nada imposible colapso de la humanidad». Justo Barranco, La Vanguardia
«El mal y la violencia, anclados en sentimientos como el racismo, emergen en cada uno de estos textos, que mantienen en vilo el aliento del lector con su característico estilo conciso, de frases lacónicas y diálogos brillantes».Jaime Cedillo, El Cultural
«Trepidante. [...] Nesbø explora la mente retorcida, maquiavélica y manipuladora del individuo, su capacidad para dañar al prójimo e intentar engañar para salir impune». María Serrano, El Debate
«Otra muestra más de la habilidad marca de la firos géneros y llevarlos a su terreno o darles su tono único». Mariola Díaz-Cano Arévalo, Actualidad Literatura
«Vuelve a hipnotizar a través del riesgo, el misterio y el crimen». Concha García, La Razón
«En este volumen tan especial, Nesbø explora la mente retorcida, maquiavélica y manipuladora del individuo, su infinita capacidad para dañar al prójimo e intentar engañar al mundo de cara a salir impu
