2022 marks Vintage's Year of Harry Hole - a celebration of Scandi Crime's best-loved hard-boiled detective. Key to this year will be the complete reissue of the Harry Hole backlistWith a fresh new, commercial look, the Nesbo Harry Hole backlist will be spotlighted throughout the year, benefitting from a long-tail marketing and publicity campaign and support from Jo Nesbo himselfExpertly plotted with vividly drawn characters, frenetic police chases and philosophising villains [...] Expect to be thoroughly entertainedFast-moving...stunning[The Thirst is] a breath-taking reading experience... Nesbo is the master when it comes to building a long and increasingly steep dramatic curve... The pace in The Thirst is somewhat calmer than in the previous Harry Hole books, more of a waltz than a rock and roll, until we're a bit more than halfway through. But from there on, it's full on action with blood gushing and splattering until the last page is turnedThe Thirst like its stablemates is a bulky but zippy 500-pager which never loiters in one place for long. Nesbø keeps you guessing with his usual bag of tricks, making everyone seem a little suspect (or almost everyone). His cynicism about bent coppers and unscrupulous journalists is an inexhaustible and entertaining sideshow...if you liked the other ten, you'll greedily sink your teeth into thisJo Nesbo is on top form... [The Thirst is] a spell-binding story about brutal crimes and ambitions gone astray
