Review:

"Nesbø never lets a page go by without making characters and situations vivid."
--Houston Chronicle

"The world is dark and frozen, according to Nordic noir, and so is the human heart.
But it's the magic Nesbø works with the genre's tropes that matters. . . . [He] might be my favorite of the lot."
--Michael Robbins, Chicago Tribune

"Satisfyingly twisty. . . . A compelling, hard-edged thriller."
--Booklist

"Excellent . . . the most popular among [Nesbø's] earlier novels and one that casts a cold eye on the reality of expatriate life of some Europeans in Asia."
--The Irish Independent

"The complex narrative and large dramatis personae are handled with steely authority . . . The picturesque seediness of Bangkok and Thailand turns out to be Harry Hole's natural element, with Nesbo plumping his hero down in a very non-Norwegian setting."
--The Independent (UK)

Praise for Jo Nesbø

"Nesbø writes like an angel. As in Lucifer."
--The Philadelphia Inquirer

"Harry Hole is fast becoming one of the planet's favorite detectives. And his demons are almost as legendary as his observational and analytical skills."
--The Mirror (UK)

"Nesbø explores the darkest criminal minds with grim delight and puts his killer where you least expect to find them. . . . His novels are maddeningly addictive."
--Vanity Fair

Book Description:
The thrilling sequel to Nesbo's debut novel The Bat, The Cockroaches sees Harry Hole sent to Bangkok to investigate the murder of the Norwegian ambassador
