Roger didn't like this candidate at all. But what he is interested in is his collection of art that he wanted to steal. The characters are not likeable. The readers have to find out who is really the worst guy as both of the protagonists are liars. Interesting and stinky kind of story. Not prett...

And mediocre heads on tall bodies.” (loc. 518) “Noble, loyal souls are ...
Why did I read it? Because of my (mostly audio) reading habits of late, all of Jo Nesbø's books have appeared on recommendations for me at bookseller, library and reading sites. It was inevitable that I would read, or listen to one of his books.What's it about? Roger Brown is a corporate headhun...
