Jo Nesbø (61) is short in stature, well-trained – he is an avid climber – and has a soft and friendly demeanor. Is this what a thriller writer looks like? In his case, yes. He has written more than thirty books. Twelve of them star Harry Hole, a struggling police inspector from Oslo. They are raw stories, told at breakneck speed in plain language. The Norwegian is a master of his craft. One of his books, The Robin, has been voted the best Norwegian thriller ever. And that is saying something in Scandinavia, the mecca of the crime novel.
