His latest, Phantom, is due to be published in North America this October, and I was readying myself to get on a waiting list for it, at the library. Jean-Philippe and Stine's wedding brought us to Norway in June, and I learned two things while at Oslo airport, waiting to come back home: 1. Phantom was already published in English, by a UK publisher, and was available for purchase at the airport Ark (bookstore). 2. The heady price for the hefty paperback converted from Norwegian kroner to US dollars (approx $28.27/169 NOK) didn't stop me from buying it.
Just finished Phantom. It was another great story by Mr. Nesbo, maybe his best so far in this series. I barely have any fingernails left. His characters and stories can give you a heartache. I don't want to say any more, for fear of giving away plot lines and developments. If you haven't read the Harry Hole books, it is best to start at the beginning of the series. There are also two early books of this series that have not yet been published in English.
