In 1944, Daniel, a soldier legendary among the Norwegians fighting the advance of Bolshevism on the Russian front, is killed. Two years later, a wounded soldier wakes in a Vienna hospital. He becomes involved with a young nurse, the consequences of which will ripple forward to the end of the century. 1999: Harry Hole, working alone having caused an embarassment in the line of duty, has been promoted to inspector and is lumbered with surveillance duties. He is assigned the task of monitoring neo-Nazi activities; fairly mundane until a report of a rare and unusual gun being fired sparks his interest. Ellen Gjelten, his partner, from his police officer days makes a startling discovery. Then a former soldier is found with his throat cut. In a quest which takes him to South Africa and Vienna, Harry finds himself perpetually one step behind the killer. He will be both winner and loser by the novel's nail-biting conclusion. THE REDBREAST won the Glass Key for best Nordic crime novel when it was published in Norway, and was subsequently voted Norway's best crime novel. THE DEVIL'S STAR, Nesb''s first novel featuring Harry Hole to be translated into English, marked Nesb' as a voice to watch in the ever-more fashionable world of Nordic crime.

"THE NEXT STIEG LARSSON" INDEPENDENT "A page-turner you won't want to put down" Time Out "A complex, utterly captivating story" Evening Standard "Scary...culminates in a nail-biting episode with overtones of The Day of the Jackal" Independent "Norway's finest crime writer... Nesbo clearly demonstrates his skill at executing expertly-crafted, well-paced thrillers that he sustains to the very end in a compelling fashion. As first novels go, The Redbreast and The Devil's Star are as accomplished as any reader is likely to experience" Daily Express
