INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER • From the author of the bestselling Harry Hole series comes an electrifying tale of vengeance set amid Oslo's brutal hierarchy of corruption. “The crime author of the moment.”—The New York Times Book Review Sonny Lofthus has been in prison for almost half his life: serving time for crimes he didn't commit. In exchange, he gets an uninterrupted supply of heroin—and a stream of fellow prisoners seeking out his Buddha-like absolution. Years earlier Sonny’s father, a corrupt cop, took his own life rather than face exposure. Now Sonny is the center of a vortex of corruption: prison staff, police, lawyers, a desperate priest—all of them focused on keeping him stoned and jailed. When Sonny discovers a shocking truth about his father’s suicide, he makes a brilliant escape and begins hunting down the people responsible for his and his father’s demise. But he's also being hunted, and by enemies too many to count. Two questions remain: who will get to him first, and what will he do when he’s cornered?
Der Sohn von Jo Nesbø ist ein düsterer, spannungsgeladener Thriller über Verrat, Korruption und Rache. Die Geschichte um den drogenabhängigen Sonny, der aus dem Gefängnis ausbricht, um den Tod seines Vaters zu rächen, fesselt mit Tempo und Tiefe. Ein kraftvoller Roman mit emotionaler Wucht und moralischer Komplexität.
