INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER - From the #1 New York Times bestselling
author of Cockroaches comes a funny, dark, and twisted caper worthy of
Quentin Tarantino and the Coen brothers--about an aspiring art thief and
the target who's about to destroy his life.
"If you don't know Nesbø, it's time to get with it." --USA Today
Roger Brown is a corporate headhunter, and he's a master of his
profession. But one career simply can't support his luxurious lifestyle
and his wife's fledgling art gallery. At an art opening one night he
meets Clas Greve, who is not only the perfect candidate for a major CEO
job, but also, perhaps, the answer to his financial woes: Greve just so
happens to mention that he owns a priceless Peter Paul Rubens painting
that's been lost since World War II--and Roger Brown just so happens to
dabble in art theft. But when he breaks into Greve's apartment, he finds
more than just the painting. And Clas Greve may turn out to be the worst
thing that's ever happened to Roger Brown.
